Unfortunately, it's the wrong time of year to run the a/c which would help dry it out. 

If there is visible dry rot, peeling paint or railings that wobble expect the termite.

If I keep it, I'm going to have to put in more repairs in it, I've already repaired the AC once, removed rotting trees that died during the latest bad weather event. 

If you were to bring $5M, then that could be very attractive as it might allow a sponsor to keep some of his investors powder dry for another deal. 

Focusing on that rather than the dry mechanics of “I can buy your house cash” is more inviting for a seller to strike a personal relationship with you.

This past year I have learned so much and one of the main things is to not rely on only one source of income as that one source may dry out for a bit (especially with this pandemic going on it really does fluctuate).

Hi Christian, installing a french drain w/sump pump is your best bet to completely eliminate the issue.We used B-Dry in one of our properties and worked great.https://bdryboston.com/Good luck!

The wood here was also very soft from the water; can a single event make the wood that soft or is more likely that multiple events caused the wood to rot.

If so, could you share what you did and how long it stayed dry for?

I just want one that’s cut and dry and covers myself!
