Call RamJack or one of these foundation companies that place pillars in the ground for homes.

There is often a happy middle ground where you are not giving up any legal rights but also maintain the trust of your tenants.

You made a great suggestion maybe I can find a middle ground a job that's has decent hours and pay.

I have no idea how much this is going to cost and it seems like I won't know until I get into the design phase with the architect but by then I'll already be on the hook for a decent amount of money.

If you did resilient channels you would want to avoid grounding the floating part of the RC

If she wants to leave, I think you can still phase that as I'll mail you a check for $444 every month for 10 years... seller financing is not for all sellers, but if she is there or not, that is no difference to you, actualy, if she leaves, you might be able to rent it for more...But to @Jeff Filali point... if you will make $150 per month, you should have a reserve for repairs.

I know I need to start making contacts with contractors familiar with working in phases and draws, and of course being on schedule.

You want to make sure the people that you rent to will take care of your property and will be able and willing to pay their rent each and every month on time.You can set your own standards with the back ground check company regarding each area such as requiring income of 3x monthly rent, requiring a certain credit score, etc.

Just wondering if anyone has any on the ground info that could help.Thanks in advance.

I'm listing a residential property, but we are marketing it as commercial ground lease opportunity.
