Yep, I sure hope so. I'm inclined to go with the water damage theory as it is only on the outside wall.Looks like water damage to me. I would tear it off and check behind it. Then you will know what you have to deal with. They may have let the roof get real bad previously.
This is a different house Franc. Located far away from any bodies of water. A leak is possible though...Based on your previous pictures and the relative proximity to the creek, I'm going with water damage. The house is sweating between the outside walls and the inside veneers. We see this on basement rehabs in wet hot climates.
The house was vacant in that environment for two years. Closed up and un-vented.
Likely through out the house.
Pull the drywall
Check for dry rot in the framing,
Make repairs.
Include a moisture barrier
Get a di-humidifying system.

Those channels look like termite runs to me...But I didn't know water damage could look like this either...
Better stick to farming I guess...

Sorry, no ants, just water damage and resulting long-term condensation on the back face of the paneling, which acted as a moisture (more correctly, vapor) barrier.Based on your previous pictures and the relative proximity to the creek, I'm going with water damage.

With sound business/construction experience and some moral smarts, flipping can be extremely lucrative. OTOH, run-amok flipping put many of the housing boom rats in jail ... for a very long time.flippin' a place sounds i was w/ the guy that flipped places. it's not the ideal job. hear me.
Thanks. It started out as a totaled burnout.2 is way better than 1
Those sure are two beauties out front. Are they both still around? As in all things, sometimes "keeping" is better than "flipping".
