With that being said I am willing to work with those who are honest and will help us all be successful to whatever level we each desire.Looking into the future I will be attending REI meetings, as well as continuing to study to move this journey forward.

On the other hand, drain pipes only carry water when the water is turned on at the faucet level, so since the water wasn't being used the evidence you saw of a leak was dry. 

Typically 2nd floor tubs don't cause a ton of mold or rot damage because even if there are significant levels of moisture the drywall will allow the water to leak through and eventually cave in rather than holding it in.

My REFI of Hold properties take place at the end of a series of flips repeating the use of the same initial cash from the first flip to generate a series of flips that multiply the number of simultaneous flips you are able to do by using the profits from the original line flips and subsequent added flips to generate those simultaneous flips, and each repeated set of simultaneous flips will generate a new horizontal line of Holds starting with the first one, generated from that level of simultaneous flips, and expanded through the use of....you guessed it, REFI's.  

I mean, if you dig and soils on the level of the floor will support itself, then the caissons are much more smaller (if not totally out of the picture) because it needs to carry less load, but that means you will need to spend for the basement -- is it a selling price increase?

If that person fails, the project fails...that shouldn't be the case.To be honest, having worked in that field to the highest level, the failure of the PM speaks more to your systems than it does to their competence.

They could learn that FHA will finance up to 4 units, get all their income documentation in place, get their credit score improved to the proper level, get the seller to do the required repairs, get funds properly gifted for their down payment, contest a bad appraisal and get it revised, and think their good to go......then they find out that while FHA finances up to 4 units, they have to be owner occupied, and the buyer can't do that so the deal is dead and all the work was for nothing.

I keep going and having that property enforced it to a whole new level.

I am considering purchasing an 11-unit mixed use (10 residential and one street level bar/restaurant unit). 

If you are still tax positive (not sure if term is correct), check with your accountant to see what other business you can use against the property.Depending on your gross income level and how you manage your property, you may not be able to write off anything on your other income from the tax loss of your property.
