Hi all-New to the forum here and never posted- hope I’m doing this in the right spot.

I did wall braces in a block foundation this past summer, and 90% of the water intrusion was remedied by cleaning the gutters, adding long downspout extensions, and removing a tree. the remainder I drilled holes in the bottom of the bock in the problem areas, let it drain for a few days, got it all clean and dry and installed an interior gutter that drains to the sump pit that I ordered from Waterproof.com  On a different property, I did not have a sump pit, and had a water issue in on spot, do i installed a sump pit, cut a trench and installed tile with a cap and sock for about 4 feet as well as drilled holes in the bottom of the crock, the pump never runs, but that was enough to relive the pressure, and I havent had water since, if the water does come up, the pump will kick on and get rid of the water. 

When figuring NOI and Cap rate do you assume the shopping center is 100% occupied or do you put a risk factor on it, say 15%, which is about equal to one spot being vacant.

Often times someone in this spot would choose the wrong finishes and upgrades and not make the money they want to.Paramus is a market where people will buy to invest and flip and the better the presentation, the better price you will get.

im looking at a 2family here i just visited today on Park st, gorgeos big house, and also N 19th st. area is ok for me coming from greenville jersey city, that warzone is def hard to stomach, but the problem i see is that my 2fam in jersey city shot up over 100k in 2yrs, i just cant get my head around east orange.. so far out and see no signs of new developments that are everywhere in JC greenville or bergen lafayette.. i do like the bigger lots, but doubt i could rent out parking spots out there for 150+ like in JC or union city. idk, hard to figure out where East Orange might go. that west part of newark and south of 280 just.. real rough idk if it will ever change

There's no reason anyway for them to know who you really are, it helps take the emotions out of it all, and this way you never feel like you are being put on the spot. 

We have a couple "thrift" home supply spots where you can get vanities, flooring, cabinets, etc for cheaper.....they definitely come in handy

Getting free fill dirt for low spots.  

Their pricing also up there (though they want you to call to get the "latest" price, I've heard it ranges from $1000-$4000) You can spot a SSWP site from a mile away because they all basically look the same.

My husband put down some grass seed in the bare spots.
