The Cl-100 report also noted there was no active issues (ie. growing model or rot) and the moisture content in the wood was normal. 

My friend had the same issue and we found a construction company in San Jose who is knowledgeable and fixed the problem. 

I have been doing some part time real-estate investing (In Oregon), made some good money on a few fix and flips over the years.

Simple model that works well.

He informed us he fixed the issue by directing the flow of water away from the garage.

I also would not have told him you were selling it because if you do deduct things from his security deposit he will complain that, "you were going to improve that, or fix that anyway to get it to sell."

Any advice on this vs fix and flips??

So this property is the one I currently live in but the house is in my mothers house she was thinking about trying to start fix and flip she’s unfamiliar with the process I have more famIlIarIty than she does as I have done a ton of research and have been a BP member for some tIme.

Hi Nicole, have you thought of using a fixed fee accounting service that uses automation and their own workforce to take the daily tasks off your plate? 

There's wholesaling, fix n' flip, foreclosures, house hacking, multi-family.... the list goes on.
