If it's a simple issue or something where we don't require a formal write-up, it could be $125-200.Then I'll bring in the specialists to get bids.If the problem is solved by putting up beams (bowing walls, typically), I'll bring in my foundation company who specializes in putting up beams and installing drain tile (the bowing issue is generally related to too much ground water pressing against the foundation, and the long term fix is to keep the water out).

D areas should be avoided completely.Apples to apples  strong B A area in Summerlin / vegas for example at 300k should get you 2200 in rent or so but tax's will be about 1500 to 1700 a year.. you will have next to zero in desert landscape costs and the homes are generally 1990 or newer  stucco  tile roofs  etc and can easily be self managed..
