Post: Enforcing a Judge Ruling

I wouldn't waste the time. Trying to collect a judgement from a section 8 tenant is squeezing blood from a stone.

In general judgements will show up in the public record, most tenant screening services will find it.

If you find one, let me know. I got one giving me silly quotes and the other one was so busy they couldn't even get out for a  estimate for over a month.

Looking for someone to do utility hookups for 2 flats in DC. Got quotes from both of these companies, located in Virginia. Anyone used DMV Plumbing & Waterproofing (https://www.woodbridgedrainrepair.com) or Nelson Plumbing & Construction (https://nelsonplumbingllc.org)?

I would fill it just so you don't have moisture seeping in and move on. I agree, probably nothing to worry about. Cracks in foundation walls are a different story.

Interested in an answer to this as well.

No issues, but you will find that not every bank is willing to do it on non-owner occupied.

For a flip I'd look for 20-30%. For a rental, I'd look for at least a 4%-5% cap rate, but I suspect others may be looking for higher cap rates than I. I agree with your assessment on Manassas/Woodbridge vs Arlington markets.
