The basement went from a wet one to looking bone dry after storms.

Utilities are not sub metered.One half is vacant and needs new flooring, dry wall and paint.

I got my self so hyped up to finally take my first step into the real estate world that I was blind to the possibility of such a seemingly cut and dry loan being rejected.

Chris, the commercial (MF) properties in the QC pretty much dried up at the beginning of this year.

Looks like the MLS is dried up and you're in a hot market, so why don't attend local meetups to connect with bird dogs, wholesalers, real estate agents and let them know you're looking for a deal and show you're a serious buyer.

I've had plumbers tell me 1. oh good they didn't cut down into the slab, this is an easy job 2. oh good this is cast iron, it's very resilient 3. oh no this is cast iron it presents a lot of problem and we need to dig it up and provide you with a new water line and sewage line (made them explain what a water line was, now I know)Dry wall guy didn't want to do anything but patch up what was there.

The PA building code requires the inspection of framing before dry wall is hung. 

@Tedroy Johnson Are you needing to do a wet double, a dry double, an assignment, a sub-to, a sandwich lease....?

I say full time but in reality I have been building rentals and managing a nightly rental because the trustee's sales all but dried up the last couple of years.

We have a multifamily under contract (to use as a rental and owner occupancy, maybe condo-ize it someday) in the Roxbury/Dorchester area and would like to make something of the basement, which has a high ceiling and looks dry, but of course they're always damp at least.
