The problem in a vacant house’s plumbing is each plumbing fixture's valve, gasket, or hose needs water to stay pliable.

Bathroom and door fixtures - 1-2k8.

If the compition demands a higher refurbishment (counter tops, and cabinets) then do that, but just a refresh on this unit (from the pics) looks like paint and LVP might be enough.I'd leave the cabinets and counter tops brown (unless competition dictates redoing them).Also a daylight bulb in the kitchen of the highest wattage the fixture will hold might make the area look better when you show it.The less income the resident has, the more bulb wattage they seem to like in the kitchen (they cook at home more).Good Luck! 

We dont plan on moving any walls or anything big... we do plan on tile work, countertops, lighting/fixture/hardware replacements, taking out old carpeting and replacing with LVP (vinyl plank flooring), replacement of old appliances wtih new stainless plus a moderate master bath remodel (take out old fiberglass tub/shower and make that area pop with new shower w tile and sitting tub.

A water heater will often last 9-12 years, I saw one yesterday at an inspection that was 24 and still cranking.Also consider non mechnaicals like floors, light fixtures and interior doors and trim, kitchen cabinets etc..

But if you walked on the lot, and a salesman brought you a cup of coffee, had you're car washed while you were looking around, followed you around like a puppy, while constantly fact dumping, while tossing in little polite, considerate questions about your family, you would have a far easier time telling him bluntly "nope... no 350z, I have 6 kids so we should look at the minivans...." 

Any time two or more fixtures are being used at the same time the water in one becomes non existence immediately.Each side of the duplex has its own full bathroom, water heater and kitchen sink.The duplex is on a concrete slab.I cannot find the shutoff valve (except for the city shutoff valve) or the prv (I'm assuming there's not one).The water supply line is 3/4 and cutting a hole in the wall I discovered the lines feeding the fixtures are 1/2.City has came out everything is good on their end and they place a pressure gauge on external tap and said its lowI checked faucet aeratorsthe 3/4 main supply is cpvc and everything else is copperThe water bill is not high so I assume there are no leaksA plumber is suggest converting the lines that are 1/2 to 3/4 until it gets to the fixture.

I must need to drink another cup of coffee.

FHA defines luxury items such as outdoor jacuzzis, tennis courts, outdoor kitchens, murals, new swimming pools, and items that are not permanent fixtures such as antennas or satellite dishes.

(sheet-rock, texture/paint, flooring, fixtures, cabinets, etc...).I have done 5 rehabs on previous properties of mine, with 2 of them getting down to the studs and enjoy getting to do a lot of the work.
