Inspections--house, termite, possibly separate roof and structural8. 

If you buy a house you get a full inspection and check all its points, termites, roof, etc.

I purchased a Home in SC as a second home and the taxes are through the roof.  

This is my first time and I'm buying a fixer upper that needs a new compressor, roof and a total kitchen remodel.

I also want to clarify that I do still keep a decent amount of cash - just not enough to cover every single property roof at the same time if that ever happened for some reason. 

New drywall, mechanicals, windows, electrical, roof, siding- essentially new from foundation up. 

Their charges for repairs have gone up the roof and they are not competitive at all.

And take the roof off and build up.

It also kills two birds with one stone: an investment property, and a roof over your head. 

I want to refurbish the entire house, including a complete kitchen and baths renovation, add an addition on the east side, new roof and siding, new flooring everywhere, paint inside and out"Then ask the GC to go over and put this into a more formal document.
