Savvy listing agents know these are toilet paper.Honestly there just isn't a great solution for folks starting out with deals that Fannie won't touch... maybe that says something about just how risky it is to start with 202-level deals instead of 101-level. 

I pay my plumber $100 to replace a toilet.

(Both toilet supply line failures if that’s worth anything.)I went with their remediation company (Service-pro) and their contractors for a few reasons. 1)They started everything the day of the leak/flooding. 2) They guaranteed everything, out of pocket costs, timeline, quality of work, a year to find any defects, etc etc  3) it was quick, painless, worry free.

Also make sure there is a pan underneath it and adequate drainage incase it cracks . 

I spoke with the tenant and said the shower will be needing new tile so while the toilet will be operable, the shower won't.

The same would be said for the plumbing work, however I would not be doing much besides typical toilet, faucet, and sink repairs. 

Project included new windows, new doors, new siding, new floors, new bathrooms (vanities, toilets, shower, lighting), new kitchen (appliances, sink, granite counters, cabinets, lighting), new paint, new pool liner, new landscaping.

Everything he did would be his foot in the door, but nothing ever panned out.Wholesaling rarely pays off, and it is even more rare to make a living at it.

I would encourage you to focus just as much on street smarts - what does and doesn't work in your local market, who can you call about that toilet, how will you answer the question about four pit bulls, etc. 

No good budget...could be a faucet or toilet....could be a broken line somewhere, multiple somewheres.
