Items cannot be stacked against wall prohibiting natural air flow to guard against mold, etc ?? 

I rebuilt a house in the area a decade or so ago that had cracks in the walls that I later discovered had a 6 foot diameter bee hive in it.

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: I've bought more than one house that had shackles on the wall in various places.

If you open up the wall to do something, you will need a permit for plumbing and electrical a lot of the time because they will want to see behind the wall before you close it.

I think flipping is the way to go on this project since it’s my first deal which has always been the plan but very grateful for some guidance. 5 weeks of tear out, wall paper removal 🙃, new electrical, deck supports, HVAC install…we start putting it back together!

I hope they are an even better experience beyond the credential wall.

These have two very different next steps.If it is a condo, you need to check your condo docs and see where the unit ends and what is common area. if its a leak in a pipe in a wall that is typically common owner and the condo association should take care of it.

Just look back on what the expectations/forecasts were of interest rates at the end of 2023, nobody (even wall street) seemed to be listening to Powell's meetings and were overly optimistic.

Flood vents need to be installed in those block walls.

We would touch up and possible paint a couple of the walls/ceilings.
