Ideally, you have a shut-off for it but if you don't make sure you buy one of those insulated boxes that can cover it up during the Winter months.

The houses you are looking at are before the advent or wide use atleast of plastics that make up the pipes(PVC)and insulation around the wires in modern homes.

We typically see things come in around-basic level rehabs (kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, paint, some minor wall patching) around $30 per sq-ft-mid level (same as above but with possible roof, siding, major system upgrades, ect) at $50 per sq-ft-full rehab including above but with framing, foundation, new insulation, new drywall, doors, trim, ect around $75 per sq-ft- rebuild, additions, add a level, ect $125 per footThere is no one size fits all and no two rehabs ever go exactly the same, there are always unforeseen things you find once you start working, but that should give you a ballpark. 

Top things to consider: - Flood factor- Connectivity (electrical & internet) - Water Source, backup and systems- Waste & Sewage- Insulation- Elevation - Trees & Fire Please refrain from political discourse :) 

I would get the LVP that had the insulation already on the plank.

I would say it's not the furnace that's the problem, it's the air infiltration and insulation.

I've done this long enough I can just look at pictures, with the exception that if you've put in higher grade insulation, squeak-free subfloors, kitchen cabinet blocking, things like that I can't see through the walls that would be helpful but normal buyers would wonder what you were talking about.On your strategies:1.

Appreciation tends to be more insulated on higher-priced homes because those neighborhoods tend to have populations with higher incomes who are less affected by any market swings.In terms of tax benefits (always talk with a CPA) it depends on how you're running your properties.

For less than $500K I am getting the following 2 Houses--3/2 mobile home - my family home -- 4/2 Metal home - Airbnb 1: similar properties average $6K/month.            2 separate garages ( one is ready to convert to extra master - has windows, insulation, and ready for paint)1 Shop - 1,200 sq ft metal building with electric, plumbing, and water -1 Shed with toilet - wellness spa ( I am licensed esthetician/massage therapy)3 - 600 sq. ft. 

You need to add insulation in attic above garage and in walls extra $500+.
