Quote from @Stacy Banks: Hello I wanted to know what does it cost to do foundation & framing for a 1,500sq ft house being built in Lehigh Acres Florida.  

Popular choices like Fidelity, Schwab, or Vanguard let you invest in a range of stocks, mutual funds, and ETFs.

It’s currently vacant and we are considering selling, but the foundation will be an issue.  

Thanks Scott, ill check with Schwab.

The best thing you can do to prevent future foundation issues is installing gutters around the property to repel away from the foundation.

Hi Steven,It sounds like you and your wife, Renee, have a wealth of experience in the real estate and construction fields, which is a great foundation for starting your real estate investing business.Given your background in residential remodeling and home inspections, and Renee's experience as a real estate agent, you're off to a strong start.

Does anyone have information if placing it on a permanent foundation will make sense from a long-term value standpoint?

Typically, we are shooting for top of foundation to be 24 inches higher than the road and at least 36 inches above the bottom of the drainage.

Old properties aren't a bad thing as long as you account for the big four- HVAC, foundation, roof and sewer.

Make sure its on a permanent foundation, has concrete pillars, skirting and axles removed and in some states require hurricane Tie downs.
