Are these problems deal breakers and how do you fix them?
I have 2 questions for those who have single family rentals or work as contractors. Are any of the problems in this list deal breakers in your search criteria for rentals and if yes, is there even a way for contractors to fix or mitigate them? I've toured properties and read inspection reports that have 1 or more of these problems below. Not being a contractor, i don't know all the solutions on how to fix these problems.
Very small single window in a bedroom.
Lack of parking garage/street parking only. Potential solution: car ports.
High noise level from being close to a highway. Potential solution: double pane windows.
Asbestos in the pipes.
Knob & tube electrical wiring. Potential solution: replace it all??
