At the time we closed on that property, there was one down the block under contract (totally rehabbed, a tiny bit nicer than ours) for $210K.

(this gives the contractor a way to make an accurate bid for himself and makes sure you get what you want).It seems like the shower door MAY HAVE fallen through the cracks on this bid (due to not being spec-ed upfront--too general of a request, vs being more specific).Will you have to pay for it is the question you will need to iron out with your contractor. 

Things are seeming to break into 3 categories.a) "Working class" 4+2s that are really tiny bedroom 3+2s with poor garage conversions (so a random 4th "bedroom" off a kitchen, nowhere near bathrooms) or horribly awkward floor plans.

A foundation company installed beams and did epoxy injected cracks couple years ago.

As a highly general rule, I think the farther south you go in that little area, the lower the prop values and things get a tiny bit tougher.  

There once was a tenant on crack Her values were all out of wack Her rent was past due And the landlord was through So he tossed her out on her back 

But stucco cracks and siding has lots of gaps that need to be sealed.

@Adrianne Daniels There are a lot of possibilities: Discharged of debt and wrote it off, sold the note and fell thru the cracks, erroneously recorded against your property, released and never recorded.

Although I had lots of ideas (like a small tiny house community- just no knowledge about how to make it happen-- still have this desire btw-- just maybe elsewhere).

You should be able to look at the roof line to see any obvious slant or any cracks in the mortar between bricks.
