Best to err cautiously and not really anticipate changes until they are material.

Quote from @Evan Polaski: @Jay Hinrichs, while I wasn't going to call them MLM, I did attend an Armando Montelongo (A&E's Flip this House from mid 2000's) seminar at a hotel conference room in 2007 or 08, which was the free funnel to spend $1,500 for a three day seminar or $25,000 for an in-person mentorship.I have seen similar promoted with Christina and Tarrek from Flip or Flop more recently.I didn't start realizing how profitable education can be until the last 5 or so years.  

Code Enforcement in my market has just recently started, as part of their tenant turnover inspections, to document the material composing the water inlet pipes where they enter into the basement.

Rehab costs and  are key parts of evaluating deals, so it's great that you're diving into these concepts early.For rehab costs, creating a rough estimate starts with understanding the scope of work and local pricing for materials and labor.

The Seller is required to disclose any material defects and a fire would definitely fall into that category.
