So my guy dug down there to install a rebar and add new cement.The problem is that there's water coming in from the ground underneath that doesn't allow the cement to dry.

The buyer pool has dried up, so you should be able to get a deal with a 30% (or more) discount.Now, France is a big place, so pick your favorite location first.

We're doing a flip now in Portland Maine and my plan is to find air dried, rough sawn hardwood, plane it and size it, and then install it as wide plank flooring.

@Sean Haardt, As Belinda wrote, two key things she needs to move quickly on:1) As soon as the water drains down, get the wet stuff out, furniture, carpeting, baseboards, sheetrock cut to above waterline, insulation removed so the house can dry.  

It may be dry rotted beyond reasonable use, but one never knows.

It isn't always cut an dry.

@Scott Mclaren and @Don Miller JrWhile Don certainly makes some fine points, the argument is not entirely as cut and dry as it seems.  

I didn’t say much and was never planning to sign anything at the meeting today, but did want to see where their minds were prior to going to an attorney.Like you said, it may be cut and dry and I have no legal leg to stand on, but paying for a one hour review of my case might be worth the peace of mind.

I focus on internet resistant tenants (gyms, karate schools, restaurants, nail salon, barber shop or hair salon, off site dry cleaners, doctors office,etc).Online sales makes up only a fraction of all retail sales.

Of course the marketplace for lending in some majors would dry up almost completely.
