YouTube is a great resource for videos on sheetrock patching, replacing tank components for toilets, wax rings, replacing broken faucets, fixing drains, etc.Those are just a few things that come to mind for me that are fairly simple.

They will drain you dry when your tenant stiffs you on payment and you are left paying the mortgage you promised you would pay from your seller.

In a case like this, should my offer price simply incorporate this projected expense or is there a better way to determine whether or not a drain tile is necessary before making an offer?

I cant reach the contractor i did the rehab with...The scope of work consists of various electrical works such as correct GCFI for refrigerator, some leaks to be repaired in dishwasher drain and bath sinks. install a proper flex gas line for water heater. relocate ground wire in breaker box and some minor stucco damage repairs.I was wondering if anyone here knew what was the most cost effective way of going about this request for repairs while the property is under the corporation's nameI want to be a straight shooter and do things the right way.Thanks!

You eed to get the water run off away from the house.I suggest yougt gutters ASAP or a french drain system to keep water away. :)

The heating system was turned off during construction and over a couple of weeks the system cooled down, the fittings loosened in the slab and the water drained out and pressurized the slab.

I see pricing between $65 and $85 per linear foot of basement perimeter for interior French drain with sump pump.

no. i have never been there. it's probably about an hour from me. i tend to do what the guru's advice.... stay in an area where i know. and i literally buy about 1-2 mile radius and know those 4-5 sub divisions like the back of my hand. i do my own repair calls, so going there would be a drain on my marriage. :)

You typically need to have skin in the game, but at the same time you certainly don't want to drain all of your personal reserves if you don't have to (i.e. if you used up all of your reserves on a traditional downpayment w/a bank - not only would it be gone, but then what's next?

As the guys were digging up the foundation for the French drain they accidentally struck and damaged the main sewer drain.
