I also asked about any plumbing issues, which I would get inspected during the due diligence phase, along with other major concerns.While I don't have much experience assessing houses and determining the extent of repairs, I’ve spent a lot of time in stores like Home Depot and Lowe’s.

Rental rarely re-plumbs, or re-wires a house.There is a class of contractor who is not licensed as a GC, just their own liabiity ins, who will sub to other sub-contractors. 

Don't worry about losing.That is likely not the only reason you are losing.We use this language for our clients, "Buyers agree to limit inspection repair requests to major structural, mechanical, plumbing, environmental, and safety issues."

Prioritize repairs that protect the house’s value, like roof issues, plumbing, or structural concerns

For me personally, I want to control the finishes.. light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, cabinet pulls etc I will purchase and have shipped to the house.

.- Evaluate all major systems (mechanical, electrical, roof, plumbing, foundation, etc).

I'd love any and all recommendations on subs across: electrical, plumbing, tile, demo, framing/drywall, fireplace/ chimney experts Please also let me know if you have any recommendations on housekeeping or airbnb management. 

If you have a $300 plumbing bill, you are another $300 in the hole.

I just won my first tax sale property and if all goes well (AKA the judge reviews the property and approves everything) I will likely go down the tax sale rabbithole as the property I bought was pennies on the dollar (hopefully noone broke in and stole the copper plumbing lol)
