Q: Should you buy a house that has been underpinned?

• <div><p>As long as the home inspection reveals no problems with the property&rsquo;s structure, it shouldn&rsquo;t be an issue buying an underpinned home. In fact, a properly underpinned property can be more stable than houses that have never had structural issues. However, you could face a higher insurance premium if the property has a history of structural problems. You should always request a structural engineer&rsquo;s report before making a final decision.</p></div>

• <div><p>A good return on flipping a house ranges from 10% to 20% of the after-repair value. Many investors aim for a profit margin of at least 15% to ensure their efforts and risks are worthwhile. This percentage accounts for costs like repairs, financing, holding costs, and closing fees, while also providing a solid profit.</p></div>

Q: What should I prepare before an appraisal?

• <div><p>Gather details of recent improvements, property documents, and any previous appraisals or inspections.</p></div>

Gavin, Jayson, and their cree were great! Super polite and attentive. I don't have super large property, but there was a lot that needed to be done, and they got it all done in 2 days. I've never seen my property look this clean. Will definitely hire them again for more landscaping projects!
