In addition, we also noticed a wall is "bulging" with signs of the foundation behind it pushing on the drywall/cement. 

During the showing were they able to get in to the house and up the stairs?

Good morning all,I am looking to get my entry way & stairway repainted & new carpet on the stairs.

@Nancy Trani would recommend using a cement guy to shore up the foundation.

Hi Jeremy,Have you tried just asking her to leave--maybe covering the cost of (your Grandfathers friend's) move vs. being adversarial.She might just say ok.And ask her to not throw food into the "Cement Pond" because it draws sharks.But really, maybe ducks land in there and she feeds them or something (or she's old and the ducks are imaginary)--but asking her to stop would be intelligent.Good Luck!

If you're looking for something that may cost more up front but have little on-going costs or maintenance requirements maybe a nice cobblestone sitting area would work. or a cheaper option would be cement tiles.

Roof pitch 12/12-New shingles and edge metal $9k (plus replacing plywood where needed)-exterior painting $6k (definitely will be replacing some cedar boards here, but not clear on how many, maybe 10-15) -rebuild four stair walk up on porch $1.5k-carpet tear out and LVT (4.5mm clic, 12mil wear layer) throughout $15k-replace 40ft of cedar fence $5kLet’s assume that there are few to no surprises and the work quoted is the only work necessary.Let me know if I’m missing any info that would help.

Office sometimes can be a crossover and re-adapted in retail.As mentioned check if just stairs or an elevator.

They also talk a lot in BP podcasts about creating a scalable income in your niche for stair-stepping your portfolio up to keep it from staying stagnant or having very slow growth.

Basically a stair way up by, building, flipping, managing and renting.
