The first guy said he could do a number of things in the 20k range as far as supporting the foundation extremely well but that he could also come in and jack up the house, replace a few posts and and that would even out my kitchen( which dips a couple inches) and would prolong the life of the foundation.

Especially if we finally see a return to 5-7% nominal rates, ie rates a little closer to historic averages.I do think properties in the $1,200 price are obviously less susceptible to a downturn, but I think we may see millennials moving to SFH's as they start families in this next recession, vs when they were single and just moved to apartments.In short I think we need to seriously consider the next war may be a quick strike, rates going higher recession vs a prolonged trench warfare of over priced homes.Personally we are thinking about slowing down, maybe being a little more selective, holding firm until we find higher returns etc.

The statistics in both Canada and the U.S.A. over the last couple of decades indicate the opposite: in situations of separation/divorce and child custody it is more common for the man to leverage the fiscal imbalance between his income and the woman's to prolong proceedings and force financial hardship on his ex-partner and their children or, for the man to simply be a deadbeat and abandon his children.My wife carries out research in this area, much of the domestic violence, police and court statistics paint a very dour portrait of the behaviour of men.

I just found their sales and customer service tactics to be distasteful and prolonged with no favorable outcome, compared to other companies with which we have done business. 

Defendant had an excellent attorney though that always found a way to prolong the case.

@Wayne Brooks Some of the major things that he held up were my ability for contractors to get into the building, which made getting a bid for the work long, which prolonger the 203k write-up, which prolonged the underwriting, which continued to push back our time for closing.
