Notes: -Carpeting will be replaced with LVP throughout -Wood paneling will either be removed or painted over (filling in gaps, sanding, etc) -Considering closing off the sunken in space to make the wall flush? 

A good inspection should catch big ticket problems (like foundation and roof issues), but you won't catch some plumbing issues until tenants are actually flushing toilets.

Once the market took back off from the last crash, I kinda wrote off any other RE investments until the next crash.I think this discussion flushed out what was bothering me the most.

Then went in to discern that the offender had not only kicked in the front too for ingress, but had also left a tribute in the toilet.I joked that had the water been left on he may, in fact, have flushed his tribute.

Imagine a "finicky toilet" that mostly flushes after a few tries!  

Yes, you can decide to spend more or use other designs like flush mount leds but these boob lights worked great and are an easy and fast install.

@David Avery It isn't a bad idea to leave those steel sash perimeter frames in, a flush fin will cover the outside (usually) then trim the inside.

I have a Section 8 tenant that has been a great tenant for 2 years.Recently she's let the house go to crap and the final straw was a basement flood from her flushing tampons.

The most likely culprit is a toilet that constantly runs or flushes.

It'll be a bit of a unicorn hunt in this General Contractor's labor market (GCs are flush with biz right now).
