Inflation is being tamed, and the Feds will likely lower rates further to manage the debt ceiling and keep long-term payments sustainable.

We also replaced quite a few old ceiling lights with new ceiling fan/light combos and replaced any cracked or suspect outlets, etc.Kitchens got new stoves and microwaves and upgraded furniture in common areas.

None on ceiling, walls, bathroom, etc.

If it was lack of waterproofing (and the bath is on a second floor) then you are not likely to see the issue on the bathroom floor but in the ceiling below the bathroom.  

Thank you Ned, that is exactly right, we actually check a condo/townhouse about 2 weeks ago, the thing was a condo with a basement, I cannot tell if it was a condo or townhome, anyway, the ceiling in the first floor was bowing, the 2nd floor, one of the bedroom was sinking, could not tell how this damage was done but the walls came apart from the floor, you could see the roof of the unit bowing inwards towards the structure a bit, and their "general contractor" estimate that for 5k they could straighten the property and level everything, even 1 window and 1 door looked so uneven that you would think  there was something wrong with your eyes...5k for structural damage, good luck with that one, we ran as far as we could from that....but we have seen they do inflate their ARV, since we learned the hard way , we go through these deals with a magnifying glass, I knew I was not so picky, numbers do not lie.Another thing that caught my attention, which I do not know if I am overly suspicious now that I am older, but they want to get the closing for us at the same time/day they are getting the property from whoever they buying it, which it seems to me they try to save on the closing by having a "dual" closing when in reality is just 1 closing and we are the one paying for it...I do not know there are few things that do not click right with this folks.

Two coats of paint including ceilings and trim for a 1200 sqft. house in our market is at least $5k including materials.

I started tiling all tub surrounds all the way to ceilings.  

The noise from upstairs is annoying so next time I'd do more testing of the quality of soundproofing in the ceiling (older home so wasn't as good).

Between $100k and $150k, the $25k ceiling is phased out in a straight line.2.

Avoid putting in cheap items and put in more durable - tile vs carpet, mini blinds vs faux wood, lights instead of ceiling fans.
