Hi All,

Happy Monday. I have very limited knowledge relating to construction. This is not specific to my location contractor question but a general question. One waterproofing contractor said the retention wall (wooden railing as in the picture attached that is a bit rotten) is not in good shape and costs a lot of money to fix. He says if I do not change quickly the retention wall may cause more foundation cracks, foundation syncing.
Has anyone had to replace the retention wall recently? If yes, what was your experience like that you can share? This is 1995 property. Once in how many years do I have to rebuild the retention wall? Thanks in advance.
Regards.

I would like to join this master mind group too. I am doing more single family and small multi family currently but like to learn about bigger multi family properties

No luck yet in Atlanta area.

Looks like next to impossible to get HELOC on investment rental properties post covid (as a real estate investor we tend to spend money on credit cards and credit score and debt to income impacted adding more challenges as well)
