I find the more I learn and read, the more I build my foundation of knowledge.

Some jurisdictions require all foundations and footings be removed while others don’t.  

Id say keep repairs at the 100 but Cap ex it would matter on the life of the roof, foundation problems and bigger end items life. 

I’m 90% sure of the foundation of an abandoned house I recently found but how can I make sure without asking the owner or taking a tour ?

I've got a recently renovated paid off 1994 doublewide manufactured home on a permanent block foundation just outside of Richmond that I'd like to pull equity out of to out towards purchasing a primary home.

Some older buildings the trees were planted to close to the buildings for the height size and can cause roots in utility lines, sidewalks popping up, animals access to the roof, cracking the foundation, etc. 

Especially when it comes to foundation and roof repairs.

Build contacts and a foundation.

Are there any benefits to rebuilding from the foundation up, or is that the house is coming down, remove and rebuild the foundation and start from a green sheet. 

Permanent foundation, attached garage, paved driveway and connecting walkway, pitched roof, etc.
