I’m a masonry contractor and specialize in brick and foundation repairs so the repairs aren’t an issue at all it’s just that no bank wants to finance a home needing those kind of repairs.

I've been in Atlanta for a few years now and I work for CBRE in Project Management, and previously for a small masonry subcontractor in Florida; so I'm quite familiar with the construction industry, just on the large scale commercial side.

I have a background in many fields ranging from customer service to truck driving and from masonry to being a licensed nurse.  

If it's masonry, don't even bother.
