I recommend checking out The Ultimate Guide to Grading Cleveland Neighborhoods to familiarize yourself with the Cleveland area.I always recommend out of state investors look towards the higher end asserts.

My guess is that they didn't set the pipes below grade far enough and had to dig out, or they did the plumbing late and everything was already formed up.

But I interpreted you statement to be something like "industrial grade" which you don't need.E.

Menomonee Falls is interesting in particular, because it is attracting huge amounts of money (several new 500k subdivisions, think: tax basis) while there is a good stock of older rental grade homes. 

Purchase price 147KListed for 299K, sold for 285 (went under contract for 290 but dropped it another 5K at buyer request after the appraisal just to get out of the deal)Home Depot credit card: 10K (appliances, fixtures and other things we picked out and purchased ourselves rather than having GC use typical builder grade stuff, also husband did some of the work himself so bought his own materials)Brought 40K of our own cash to the closing table, loan total when paid back was 185 (original loan 175 plus 10K in accrued interest, 12 month balloon loan so we did not have to make payments during the rehab, which helped a lot with cash flow, also loan had rehab costs folded in so for the most part we paid our guys out of the loan and not our own pockets)So (numbers are round): 285 sale price - 185 (loan payback) - 40 (cash we brought to closing) - 10 (Home Depot card) - 10 (closing costs) = 40K profitWork done: insulation and vinyl siding (this ate 18K of rehab budget but was unavoidable as cedar shakes were disintegrating), converted to natural gas heat (ducts already in place, changed out electric hot air blower to gas one and gas company ran the gas from the street for free), replaced AC compressor, new water heater, two new bathrooms, replacement windows, new appliances but left the wood cabinets b/c they were in perfect condition and I could not justify painting/replacing them, new kitchen backsplash, removed wall between kitchen and dining room, wood laminate flooring throughout except for new carpet in downstairs den, painted the deck/railings, new garage doors, one new slider, all solid wood interior panel doors, of course fresh paint and new light fixtures throughout.dining roomThere was moisture damage downstairs from bank not winterizing and pipes bursting...thanks, bank.Hauled out enormous old woodstove and broke up ugly old hearth and left good flue for someone to add new pellet or woodstove to if they want to, we figured not everyone wants a woodstove and this way the buyer can decide to add one back if desiredBathroom off downstairs den, chose a walk in shower for variety, hosing off dog or muddy children, disabled access, etc. 

For instance, at best, the "Zestimate" should be used for Grade School Projects ONLY. 

  (2k for cabinets - medium grade RTA, $700 for tops, 1,300 for install).4) 2k for appliances (stove, microwave, dishwasher, and fridge)5) 4k for bathroom (tub, surround, vanity, toilet)6) 5k in flooring.     900 sq ft carpet (1,800 - $2/sq ft using lowes whole home install deal), 400 sq ft tile (utility room, kitchen/dining, bathroom, and entry way) (3k).

Thus, allowing for proper pitch and grade as well as making for a surface that will never need to be replaced in the future.

What grade & sheen paint do you use for walls?
