The structures are CBS.

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.

Start talking with small local banks to determine what kind of structures they'll lend on.

In my case I usually make it known it's me a single end buyer and it's cash.I do understanding the annoyance of having people visit every unit to kick tires.However, if the inspection - and here I don't even mean the actual structural mechanical inspection, I mean taking a look, an initial 10 minute look inside is not offered, and I have to basically make an offer blind, how would you calculate the offer number without having any clue whether it's gold plated inside or all rotted out?

He's on the finance side, acting as the syndicator and has no finance experience or in structuring such deals.Johnny, you can get a cheerleading section, but there are at least a hundred ways for those with knowledge to cut you out of anything you think you're putting together.

Or you could have this checked by structural engineer, or architect.

My appliances are pretty much ruined and the bathroom has pink mold in the shower.

I'm not talking about destroying a whole bathroom that was meant to stay but more like not knowing exactly where to stop, thus you have to do a bunch of extra work to rebuild what shouldn't have been taken out in the first place!

I always just assumed it was two single bedroom units, but the town records show it as 4 bedrooms total.Each unit has full kitchen, full bathrooms, and two additional rooms same size with closets in both.I thought, you use 1 room as a bedroom, 1 as a living room.Or, do I advertise this as a 2 bedroom with no living room?

So here is the situation...On October 1st my tenant mentioned their washer (purchased by them) was leaking and that there was major warping in the downstairs bathroom (also the washer/dryer room), bedroom, and hallway.
