Picking out finishes every time you do a house can be draining.  

I was able to handle my RE business until the maternity leave which drained my rainy days fund and thus this thread came about.I was glad to found BP at this time, even if it was +10 years later before I started.

French drains (inside drains in the floor) can help in certain cases with groundwater, but often don't do well with hydrostatic pressure along the foundation walls.  

I don't know about you guys but those 1 mil dollar PPMs are more brain drain for small dollars I never saw the benefit in those.. by the time you line up all these 25 to 50k folks its a bunch of work and a BUNCH of liability.. there is nothing worse than a 50k investor that loses money.. they come un glued.

The primary issue is that it has a cut stone foundation which was not properly drained and has settled.

Absolutely,positively nothing to do with it.The commission is there for license laws and to protect the interest of the public.The (Code of Ethics) is a mandate you agree to if you are a REALTOR which has nothing to do with licensing.Now some states mls's are REALTOR owned and they strong arm licensees that they be a REALTOR to have access to it.The real estate commission refers to NAR,MLS as third party organizations and they could care less about them or their requirements.NAR strong arms a head broker and makes if one agent is a REALTOR then the whole brokerage has to be.Brokers get around this by having 2 brokerages.One where the agents want to be REALTORS and another where they do not.It's all about the MONEY and always has been for NAR.They have third party vendors at the NAR conventions and sell all their wares to new agents and drain them dry of money before they fall out of the business.NAR of course gets a big cut from these third parties all passed along to the agent as them receiving a benefit of course.

The money is good, but I'm definitely not happy and that drains me so much! 

The size of the property could offer some challanges in the event you had to install a drain field.  

Of course, the toilet tank could be draining water into the bowl, but you can usually hear that.

Designing everything from the lot layout, roads, water & sewer utilities, to the grading and storm drain on each and every site that comes into reality.
