First Deal. Home Inspection Report. Over my head?
Hello Bigger Pockets Family.
I am currently in contract on my very first OOS SFR deal. I am super anxious and excited. The house is being sold AS-IS. I understand AS-IS meaning the seller will not make any repairs.
I just received the Home Inspection Report and I am not a contractor or expert, but I am a little concerned about it. In my eyes the house needs quite a bit of work, mainly cosmetic, but with a few concerns regarding electrical, plumbing, and fuel tank.
Here is the house:

From the interior pictures I KNOW it will need paint. I was weighing the options financially to fly out there with my dad and paint it or have a contractor do it, however, now it needs much more work to be rent ready.
Concerns:
1. Bathtub: Very slow draining
2. Bathroom: Hole in drywall under sink (not leaking) and hole next to bathtub
3. Master Toilet: Did not flush properly
4. Doors: 4-5 Doors did not open/close properly, they look fairly old.
5. Kitchen Sink: Faucet leaking at base
6. Garbage Disposal Removed: Wires under sink are exposed
7. Electrical System: Meter Base is undersized compared with electrical panel
8. A/C & Water Heater: Functioning, but past designed service life.
9: Buried Fuel Tank: Signs of possible buried fuel tank.....?

Am I in over my head on this one? I estimated at least $5000 in repairs, but now it seems much more.
