Most of the time, you will have holes in your tank and a very min amount of soil contamination that is below the NJDEP clean up standards. 

What I have done thus far:1) added down spout extenders around the house2) built the one side of the house with dirt3) for whatever reason, the holes in the croc were plugged up with cement and we removed the cement and installed a brand new high voltage sub pump.

If using the BP Calculator, the Repairs and Maintenance are post rehab estimates, which may include...lets say...a broken window, or hole in the wall.

I am not asking for  monetary contributions, just fiscal advice. 

I don’t see any civil cases that resulted in a pending monetary judgment against him; however, some of the criminal cases did result in civil judgments.

lawyer said since i'm not likely to get the back rent due even if it goes to collection due to the tenants steep downward spiral, thus to just sue for a clerk's judgment (or something like that) where i just get repo not restitution of monetary damages.its good to know its pretty much legal to pay an adult for the one time service without breaking any labor laws.

If the 150k is burning a hole in your pocket and you need to put it to work, I have some ideas for you in new, multi family housing w property mgt in place.  

If they don't know what they're talking about on the first impression, then I bet they'll cut corners on the back end, and leave the OP in a massive hole of potential liability (that could have been avoided entirely if the OP just worked with a different experienced investor in the first place).Honestly, I think people work with me for a couple of reasons: the breadth of my operation (14 different states), references (they can call any of my past sellers if they'd like), I cost the seller nothing, I've done over 80+ deals in 8 different states (I market in 14 states, but only have done deals in 8), I am brutally honest with my sellers about everything (which may cost me deals, but I'd rather do business the right way), I am a moderator at my local REIA (and they can see me listed on the website), and other credible interviews I've done that can be looked up online.

I had to leave that place because the rats ate a hole in the walls and we couldn't stay there. 

The other tool of choice I would try before what you have is a roofing spade with the zigzag edge as long as it didnt scratch too deeply...It has a fulcrum built in to pry over and will pull even the tough nails with its 5 foot 'd' handleNo matter what you use remember your going to have to 'fill' all the holes and re sand pretty deep just to get back to where it used to be.
