Did not flood during Harvey but lot's of rain !

The person who lost the judgement was a homeowner not a landlord.

According to Yellen, former Chair of the Federal Reserve, independent mortgage companies made risky "higher-priced" loans at more than twice the rate of the banks and thrifts; most CRA loans were responsibly made, and were not the "higher-priced" loans that have contributed to the current crisis.[126][130][131] During a 2008 House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform hearing on the role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the financial crisis, including in relation to the Community Reinvestment Act, when asked if the CRA provided the "fuel" for increasing subprime loans, former Fannie Mae CEO Franklin Raines said it might have been a catalyst encouraging bad behavior, but it was difficult to know.

I've only implemented it on one property so far, but a sloping concrete walkway surrounding a building is a powerful tool for reducing rain-related foundation water infiltration.

Hi all, I posted in another forum about the actual water in basement problem (appears to be water seeping in due to heavy rains, may call a basement waterproofer) but I have another immediate issue I need to figure out.My current tenant is moving out tomorrow (Sept 30) and I have a tenant lined up for October 1.

Does the Contractor have any legal judgements, lawsuits, or arbitration proceedings pending or in the past?

(Collecting the judgement is a whole different story)2) File a claim with their Errors and Omissions Insurance.

When it rains heavily, some standing water makes the roads a little difficult, but even in the highest storm surge I've seen with severe weather, my house has been fine.There are some areas (Larchmont west of Hampton Blvd) that have houses not in the flood plane, but the roads are, and with severe weather, they wind up being little islands.When you consider the flood zones are 100 year flood planes and climate change has been a thing for centuries, I would worry more about what the data tells you now than climate change specifically...unless you plan to own the home for 100+ years. 

@Rob Massopust not to rain on your parade but there is another emerging "group" steadily taking over market share from wholesalers and that is licensed RE Agents & brokerages teaming with home owners to complete a full rehab to than list the property full retail.

But we split the work and, as I share above, we're training up a smart professional with good people skills and judgement, and someone we trust, to be our property manager.Best wishes to you!
