@Wendy Patton / everyone:   Since the beginning of the year FSBOs dried up (taken over by wholesalers and flippers), expireds have always been slim in Atlanta area (too hot). 

Then it moves up the ladder.Lots of non-essential activities dry up.

Fixing the source of the problem is obviously priority, but I would also rip all of that out at the same time to start the dry out process asap.

Nonetheless i organized through the insurance company a water damage restoration service to come dry it out.

A dripping P-trap might be a $10 part but the rotted cabinet plus install can end up being several hundred dollars. 

Outdated HVAC.Sub flooring under toilet and kitchen sink is rotted from leaking.All windows (6) are original and need to be replaced.Driveway is crumbled.Kitchen cabinets and counter tops are in really bad shape. 

Focusing on debt repayment so I have plenty of equity and “dry powder” when we do see a pull back, the lack of inventory is the big issue, and by building I’m trying to help that, but cost to build is high compared to incomes, so it’s a difficult spot right now, but I think it will be changing in the coming years.

My concrete guy for example instead of pouring the new parking pad and sidewalk in November in relatively good weather, waited until January and then we got lucky with a “warm” 40 degree string of dry days he could pour.

wells are priced of course by a few things.diameter of the bore.depth of the hole..what type of material they are going throughand how much casing. so just check around and get price for diameter and depth then check well logs if they are public for surrounding properties to see how deep the water table is.keep in mind you can have a dry hole move over 200 feet and hit a geyser.My daddy always used a douser local tribe members are some of the best dousers.

They clogged the toilet and failed to ensure it was shut off before leaving town.This may be a big expense because sewer water can't just be sucked up and dried out. you're fortunate it was caught early.
