Since i don't know who flipped the switch, i am planning to pass on the cost to them both equally ($180 total)Let me know if anyone has a comment on that, but i do trust my gut when i comes to tenants and their issues, knew this one didn't pass a smell test.Why is there a switch for the boiler in a hallway?

You're instincts are correct.

Yes, you will have to caulk in some places especially around the tub/wall), but it will be very minimal to what a five-piece surround takes.I recommend only two-piece surrounds in full gut rehabs.

On top of that you have idiots who engage in bid wars and pay retail for a house that has never been inspected (and those are the bidders who will cry foul when they discover totally trashed and destroyed house that will require a full gut job to rehab). 

All are on separate 800 square foot floors, with front and back door egress, well maintained and gut renovations were completed in 2019.      

Just your gut.

99 percent of the time someone is selling a project mid-construction or after gut, it's because they already spent too much on it and know it won't work.

Go with your gut.

I really try to stand out from the remaining agents that only seem to care about their gut and their money being made, whereas I care about the service I'm providing.

I know a lot of folks that started with 1 or 2 properties that they bought from A turnkey rental seller and then went on their own, after all, purchasing and owning A rental property is the real experience it is far more hands on then any course your listen or video youll ever watch, so for someone that has the funds and is eager to learn the real way, and is okay to not make his full top profit of their first few investment properties it would be an idea for them to start with A turnkey seller.But as mentioned here, it definitely comes with A certain price tag, although for some starters they can pay up even more when they start on their own, and with A turnkey seller they'll actually save money.It all depends on the investors capabilities, experience, guts, funds avail, time (if you got they full time job besides real estate) etc...
