@Sean Schaplowsky welcome to BP from another local.  What areas of real estate are you interested in, fix and flip, buy and hold, etc.?  Check out the local meet ups for networking and feel free to reach out if you have any specific questions.

@Anastasia Orth welcome to BP! It's a great place to learn.  Check out the local meet ups, they're a great place to network.  I gave up my W2 day job about a year ago to pursue entrepreneurial dreams and it's definitely a wild ride of ups and downs but full of experiences I wouldn't have gained elsewhere.  Feel free to reach out if you're looking for someone to bounce ideas off of.  Best of luck!

@Al Williamson could probably provide a better answer on the underlying issue portion, but certain soils just aren't good for building on so the underlying problem may only be resolved through additional measures such as underpinning or piers which drill down into the rock bed to stabilize the structure.  

I don't know any, just curious why don't you think the underpinning will resolve the issue?

@Satya Patil the two I'm familiar with are Bay Area Underpinning (they cover the Sac area) and Foundation Repair of CA.  That price sounds reasonable.

Houses can settle over time, the 1.5" and the 0.5" could be a major slope in a 900 sf house, but may not even be noticeable in a 3500 sf house.  How old is the house if this has gradually happened over 100 years it may not be an issue, if something changed and it's sunk 1.5" in the last 3 months say due to the massive amount of rain we've had you may have a grading issue.  Lots of factors to consider here.

Just sent you a PM @Matthew Mcdonald

@Jeff Yates welcome to BP!  The market is hot right now so it takes a bit more effort and creativity to find deals locally, but it can be done.  Or take the time to educate yourself now and be ready when the next downturn in the cycle comes.  

@Roselyn Richards welcome to BP!  A lot of great info here.  I'm also in the S. Sac area, as you know deals are tough to come by right now you have to be willing to work harder than the next guy/gal.  I'm always open to connecting with other local investors.

@Justin Swindle thank you for your service!  Welcome to the BP! You're in the right place.  Definitely check out some of the meet ups, to reiterate what everybody else is saying learn your numbers, hustle like hell to find deals, and you shouldn't have an issue finding end buyers.  Look forward to possibly network working with you and/or seeing you around at the meet ups.

Welcome to BP @Bradley W., photography is a great way to meet tons of people in real estate and I think the drone shots are an awesome feature to add to listings these days.  Bust of luck to you, maybe I'll see you around town.
