I did see a set of French doors, which I love, but I couldn't see the rest of the interior at all.

@David Toupin & @Robb Smedema,Not to long ago, I had the idea that I would get money in residential so that I could then start my focus on commercial... someone asked me if you want to do commercial why are you screwing around trying to wholesale, that isn't what you really want so the motivation isn't going to be there and you are just wasting your time.Fast foward 6 months and now I work for one of the biggest banks in the world in their multifamily lending unit, learning from the people who do this day in day out, meeting the biggest players in the game.I have read a lot of posts authored by @Joel Owens and I have to admit the dude knows his sh*t (excuse my french bp)my advice, figure out specifically what you want to do in commercial do you want to own just multi family, do you want to own big box retail spaces, do you want to own shopping centers, do you want to own office centers or buildings???

It's not a french drain that channels out to somewhere else, it's just supposed to drain into the ground through this clogged up gravel bed.  

I called a guy to change out a french door on my house and he wanted $500 with me providing the door, electric and air compressor.

I would fill as far out as possible and IF water didnt run fast around that corner and down,,,I would put french drain with correct slope waaaaay out past the corner by 5 foot or so. 

Brandan,  As someone who is nearly 20 years beyond you in the military, I think you should pull the trigger (whether it's this one or something else)   I had a lot o thoughts like that when I was 22 and never did it.  

A damp basement can be addressed with a french drain and sump pump and or a dehumidifier.

[Mortgage, comes from the old French "mort gage", literally translated as "dead pledge" because the pledge of the property dies when the debt is repaid or the borrower defaults.]A mortgage, or secured line of credit, are forms of asset-based lending; a business pledging its accounts receivable/sales contracts or manufacturing equipment for a term operating loan would be another.What specific type of lending are you seeking? 

The lady who owns it has already sold it to a builder who is going to demolish the house and build 2 houses on that lot. O

@Casey Mericle   Hi Casey,It's interesting that one can easily locate 'agreements' for use as a landlord to LO to a potential 'rent to owner...' however with the contractuals I later (linked as updates, to my prior comment) saw seem aimed at the same arrangement as well, and therefore aren't designed as 'seller' and 'buyer' agreements, either.
