A flooded basement with just 1 inch of water is enough to cause a lot of destruction.

It's a very common discussion in committees for bankers to bend over backwards for 'good customers' and to not give an inch to 'transactional customers'.

It cracked a couple inches off the side.  

drive around look for properties that might be in distress, tall grass , house looks vacant.

There are quite a few (very small = 2 foot tall) pine trees all planted on the leech field in the front yard.4.

From speaking to others in town I do see an interest in / need  for 10,,000 - 12,000  sq ft units for industrial / warehouse sites for sale and for lease . almost like Industrial Mini Storeage space .The Bldg has 6 shipping / receiving Dock Doors along with a 14 ft wide drive up ramp that door is also 14 ft tall so you could literally drive a tractor trailer inside if need be My thinking !

It will broaden the first story of the house making it seem larger and it will break up the tall facade. 

kind of an interesting and exciting feeling because I feel I am becoming more aware just through listening and reading about Investing, its an amazing feeling none-the-less...Anyhow on my way back from work one day I am observing the houses in my neighborhood and notice one that looks vacant, like grass-3-ft-tall-and-vines-growing-up the-sides-vacant..

Screen is 16ft wide and 9ft tall.

I came across a nice house with tall grass in a nice neighborhood.
