Any advice appreciated,Sara B Yea you can do a lot of damage in the Midwest with $35k, especially if you use it as down payment funds.

Read the fine print in the foundation repair contract: Damages to the property, interior and exterior as a result of the foundation movement are not covered, during and after works completion.

I inspect my own properties once a year, I try to take care of the things that reduce later damage like cleaning the gutters and servicing the furnaces.

If the schedule slips by one week a make up schedule now must be submitted.The contractor must list all subcontractors he will contract out to and you introduce you and you go over with them can they meet the schedule if not they are out.If this contractor is not performing as agreed send out a delay notice to put it on record in your files.Penalties should be included in the contract for liquidated damages and your contract should say you have the sole right to supplement the work regardless of who's name the permit is under and hopefully the permit is in your name.

If the water damage is getting into the next room, you may be talking lots of sheetrock work, flooring, some frame replacement and then the shower itself...... cost will vary depending on cheap fiberglass drop in or full tile etc etc....No way to comment on the cost....it may be dead on..... not enough info to comment

You may have to bring them all up to code.Has the building been air sealed or insulated? 

Redo the baseboard heat throughout, or add forced air+AC units for each apt?

There are tons of properties that were damaged in the hurricane flooding, so they need serious rehab.

Roof is fine and AC works and not damaged but they are original - 19 years old.

Do you have liquidated damages in your contract?
