The home only needs new floors and a fresh coat of paint, but is in pretty good condition.

My realtors were the Coats, found in Tri Cities, Eastern Washington.

He didn't sugar coat things and told it straight up.

YMMV (your mileage may vary)Fixable alone: boiler maintenance and steam system rebalancing, minor lead paint sealing, plaster patching (even very large ones), thermostat installation, insulate flooring and rim joists, painting, floor repair, skim coating walls, installing thresholds, weatherproofing, installing/refinishing door and cabinet hardware, adjuster gutter drainageNeeded professionals: sewage main unclogging ($), knob and tube disconnection+removal ($$), flooring ($$), adding joists for structural support within walls ($$), replacement and removal of old brass/cast iron plumbing where necessary ($$$), new gas line for laundry and lines for appliances ($), wall demo + replacement ($$$), steam line moving and radiator repair ($$), gutters ($$)$ - hundreds, $$ - thousands, $$$ 5K-10K, $$$$ - tens of thousandsHope this helps, best of luck with the old home!

I stuck to the modern theme - replacing light fixtures from Amazon, peel & stick flooring in the kitchen, and adding a fresh coat of paint on the cabinets and walls.

In terms of rehabbing the property, the workflow can range from throwing a coat of paint on a wall or two, to an entire gut of the mechanicals, windows, siding, and flooring.

Couple more coats of paint and a few odds and ends and it’ll be rent ready :)  

At this point, I do not have any information about which end went in first, or whether or not there is a top on it, or if the mouth is narrower that the diameter.I'm thinking if I had an auger with a a bit with very coarse threads, I could bore into it and pull it out that way, but I am not sure such a product exists.I plan on trying a fluted plunger first, then explore with a coat hanger to see how far in it is, but other than that I am open to suggestions.Obviously, removing the toilet is the ultimate option, but I am trying to see if something clever, but less involved would work before then.Thanks in advance!

Upstairs was recently updated, downstairs also looks decent, needs fresh coat of paint. 

Just a thick solid sheet of plastic, 10 mil or thicker.
