I used Kansas Basement and Foundation who put up I beams on a cracked basement wall in a rental that was starting to lean inward and leak water.

To possibly further muddy the waters, the owner did ask that I put some skin in the game by putting $50k down, paid directly down on the note.

Now i was told by the property manager that there is a big issue with the townhouse (molding and water leak) which i have to spend $32,000 to fix it.

An ice cold juice and a happy customer would be enough incentive for me.

Also the surface it not completely smooth and you get water beading on the flat surfaces.

What are your electrical and gas bill and water expenses?

Most people with a house worth buying have enough money to use a divorce attorney, having relationships with them will put you earlier in the queue and be a referral from a source the owner trusts (or at least more so than a cold call).

Biodegradable dye is mixed with water and poured into the clean out and then filmed at the closest down hill man hole.  

You might get a cold shoulder, but many people are willing to share their experiences, and it might lead to more down the road.

Account Closed  not to hijack the thread BUT  my partner when I was in the timber business owns 1 mile on the Trask.. no boats can float thru its 3.5 miles up from tide water.. fall run was in..
