So I got a house under contract, it's a reo and is currently winterized. The electric is on for sure, but the bathroom has the tape over the toilet and the usual "don't turn on" signs....

I have 10 days for my inspection, what do i need turned on before I schedule the inspection?

THANKS BP!!!

I recently purchased an REO that was winterized. I found that most of the plumbing under the house was busted so they came off the price and I re-plumbed the entire underside of the house.

Once you get the water turned on it will be "unwinterized" If the electric is already on I would check the hot water heater if it has been on without water in it the elements are going to be burnt out.
