I purchased a new furnace and water heater for another unit.

Otherwise, you may need to replace a water service (13-15k), electrical service (10-15k) and upgrade wiring (This is a tough one, but maybe an additional 8-15k inside).

I read that as meaning that a $100,000 property can have $15,000 of deferred maintenance as long as its not immediate roof work, outdated wiring, mold or water issues.  

Many carriers won't take new business on a risk that has a water claim within 2-3 years.

Try to anticipate other potential avoidable situations with a follow up inspection to assess the Locksmith’s work and ask your tenant(s) if you can also use the time to assess for other issues such as unchanged HVAC filters, leaky pipes, working shutoff valves, working smoke detector batteries, properly working downspouts, clogged dryer vents, evidence of water damage from leaking roof, etc,etc,etc.

The licensed plumbers do not get permits for water heaters, I have never heard of one being red tagged solely for not having a permit so I do not get permits (and know no one that does) for swapping a water heater.  

They'll steal your copper, hot water tanks, furnaces and electrical wiring.

Another lesson is to research companies online and in forums like this before you do business with them and if you decide to do business with someone, dip your toe in the water slowly and continue to research the company after you start working with them, because things can change quickly.I have some questions:1.
