The network of investors you tie into is very important...cooperation not competition.  

The pads would work to shore up the foundation and then the existing foundation would tie into a grade beam that goes around the house. 

while that is the cost of the brick you also need the sand, mortar and brick ties, flashing etc. also is this new construction or you adding this to an existing house ?

I hired him because it was a steep pitched roof and I am too old to spend much time,,,and what little time I did couldnt even keep my shoes on my feet.My favorite saying is,,,if you cant do it yourself does it really need doing??

Among the changes he said he'd like to see is the ending of vacancy decontrol, which lets apartments out of rent regulation when the rent goes over $2,500 and a tenant moves out, and scrapping the 20% rent hike landlords are allowed to make every time a tenant leaves.But with the Senate Republicans balking, Cuomo last week said he expects the current law might simply be extended as is and is trying to tie the issue to passage of an education investment tax credit designed to mainly benefit parochial and private schools and their donors.Mayor de Blasio on Friday said it would be the “end to New York City as we have known it” if the state fails to renew the rent laws.Cuomo in his letter agreed, saying it “would create mayhem and chaos for both tenants and landlords and would roil the entire real estate industry.”To avoid even a temporary lapse, the Assembly on Friday night introduced a bill that would give state leaders more time to negotiate a deal by extending the existing rent laws by two days.Meanwhile, a group of more than 40 Assembly Democrats sent a letter to Speaker Carl Heastie (D-Bronx) urging the end of an affordable housing tax credit program for developers that is also set to expire on Monday if the rent laws are not extended and “very substantially strengthened.”

Hi all,I have a decent amount of money saved in my retirement. I am looking to finance my first owner occupied house. I will get settled in it and immediately pursue other opportunities while I house-hack. My question...

This will create an extremely strong structure, especially if blocking is added at/near the rim joist to tie the joists together. 

Well, you need to know that putting the shoes on of a lender is not buying the property.

But I also notice this model sometimes takes years for the cost to increase which ties down capital.The second niche is the build/buy and hold.I want to base my real estate investment journey along this two niches.I will  be delighted if anyone with experience in this 2 niches guide me.Thank you
