Otherwise, you might end up spending more in attorney fees trying to fight this issue.

Expect to pay $120-170 per square foot since it's an existing structure.

Remember also that the interest on the loan is taxed at ordinary income rates.So for example lets say you have 100k and were making 8% in the markets - 8k per year and say you are in top bracket, you will pay $1600 in taxes per year or netting 6400.Now lets say you did a loan and were at 5% you are earning $5k per year (actually less because principal is being paid down and some of money goes into essentially a 0% checking account).

Although if the clean up amount is less than the attorney fees, maybe work something out with the neighbor financially, and get your dirt back maybe.Good Luck!

A new city heights affordable housing project has gone up at a cost of over $800k per unit.  

I didn't choose this profession per se; I'm actually disabled and needing to do this to supplement my income (although I have felt immense appreciation for the good tenants and proud of the way I continue to learn).Now I am in the process of my first eviction with regards to my current basement tenant (they're just not paying me rent, everything else is fine with this person but their financial excuses have been hard to keep track of since the beginning).  

my initial inclination is in line with both of yours: it's a slightly upscale community, property + type of traveler, so i would prefer a focus on making it great vs making it, in essence, 'cheap' per head.+ yes, that was also my initial reservation: a house that is filled with a bunch of beds is not a very interesting space.thank you for sharing that this isn't necessarily a mistake or the wrong way to go to build it out with a focus on design/experience more than utility.

It's not going to damage the foundation per se but my priority would be to install some drainage.
