What about plumbing,gas, construction...

[Account Closed]

Hello to all BP members,

I'm a young college student, planning on starting as real estate investor this summer.Tonight I have a question about flipping. Every time I watch the shows and read blogs about flipping most of them talk about how they change the kitchen cabinets, completely renovated the bathroom, new floors, fresh painted walls. However, not many are talking about checking if gas is working properly, if plumbing is connected in the right way, if house is stable and it would actually be good house for many years to come for someone who is spending everything they have on our flip house.

I apologize if this question is too basic, but I just don't see flippers deal with this a lot and I believe this should be a first thing they should be fixing and checking. Maybe I'm missing out big time.

Let me know.
