I ended up remodeling the kitchen and removed a wall and put a beam in its place and modernized the whole house.

You could have foundation issues, or possibly old termite damage where major support beams have disintegrated or maybe support piers that have sunk or fallen over or rotted. 

During that period, I ended up buying a horse barn and converting it into a post and beam home.

The garage was rented out to a tenant, who I kept on.I increased the rent, and while the garage tenant reluctantly agreed, he complained heavily about all sorts of problems with the garage... rats, leaking, roof gutters, sagging beams etc. etc.As such, I told the tenant that I'm not able to renovate the garage, so if the condition of the garage was not suitable, he could vacate.... and if he wanted to stay, he would have to sign an agreement saying that he was renting the garage knowing it's condition and would be fully responsible to any damage to his property.He's continually ignored/put off replying to my emails. 

Highest and best would be tear-down to build triplex but not for as long as Mom lives there.The Issues: A) It was built in the 20’s with pier and beam foundation and essentially no crawlspace.

We pulled a list of 1,000 laser targeted owners and got an 8.9 percent response rate.

Goal - Simplification of Focus / Measuring Your Success - This is probably a bit philosophical at this point but wondering techniques on how people stay laser focused on the select few things that move their goals and business forward. 

Front porch beam, columns, railing replace. 4.

Upon my inspectors inspection, this is what he found: near complete wood rot on multiple floor joists, wood rot on the main beams (called girders) that the joints connect to; wood rot on the sub-floor and...it is covered in mold! 

Secure a hard money loan for 105K to buy and put 15K into foundation work (pier and beam leveling) and framing the 3rd bedroom.
