Deborah, you can reinforce foundation but it still requires drilling into existing footing, gluing in rebar and adding new wider, deeper footings not only on the perimeter of the home but also on internal support walls as well.

I currently intern at a Firm on the Tax side and in the long run I want to own Rentals.

BPers,Do you think offering to be an unpaid summer intern for a local property management firm be a good idea?

I've had a buddy look at the main components for me but now that my lender is kicking me a $1k credit for a home warranty, I need to get a formal home inspection that says everything is working.  

I would call around to some local agents that regularly rent properties in Richmond and do your own internal rent survey.

@Tyler Howell tenant selection is the most critical component of residential rental properties.

Flipping PropertiesIf the primary objective of your real estate business, or one of your real estate businesses, is to buy, potentially fix up an existing property and resell it within one year, the Internal Revenue Service can consider that to be an active trade or business.

We have several international partners in town for a few weeks.

Really opened my eyes to more sophisticated methods for evaluating potential deals.Especially, Internal Rate of Return (IRR), which judges an investment against other investments.

I am also learning/investigating about international property investment.
