It makes me happy sharing my experience and knowing that we're all supporting and helping each other become successful!

I purchased a house in Edmonton that has a horizontal crack the entire length of one wall as well as at least one vertical crack.The work has been repaired but the seller never disclosed that the crack was there until after I ripped down some of the drywall and exposed the cracks.There is an engineers report that says that the wall has been repaired and has been restored to "structural adequacy".They installed an interior shoring wall of pressure treated 2x6's with staggered pressure treated blocking that is tied to the floor as well as the joists.I purchased the house with the intention of adding a second story.I am wondering if it will support the second story or whether there is more that I should do before I start building.The original foundations in the area are such that they should support a 2.5 or 3 story house without issue.

hey welcome thanks for joining we should chat sometime

If any members are in the NYC area and would like to chat please feel free to reach out.

The trick to finding good cash-flowing properties is to find the locations that best support the numbers.

Would be glad to chat further if you are interested.

Hey @Abram Ylitalo - we gotta be colleagues to @mention me :) (OR I have to have already posted in the thread) As for getting locked out -just send an email over to support@biggerpockets.com and they can clear it real easy.

The source as I see it could also be termed categories, wages, SSI, disability, child support, housing voucher, EBT, SNAP, alimony ect.In the case of saying "no garbage men", you are not discriminating against source of income as their income source is wages just as the local mailman's source is wages too.

Chat real soon...Cheers Denice!
