Added a bathroom and remodeled existing.Opened kitchen to diningNew roof, driveway, windows and mechanicalsRefreshed landscaping, hardwood floors and paintWhat was the outcome?

New roof, interior & exterior paint, finished additional living space What was the outcome?

if there are 10 interior cosmetic violations opposed to a roof repair violation I'd imagine one would be more motivated than the other.  

Roof, HVAC, sewer, etc.Has the property been poorly managed?

The insurances like AAA are strict on the paint, roof, plumbing, electric etcThe houses are in Stockton, California.Thanks

Your PM will be able to help you manage everything from leasing, regular maintenance to bigger ticket items like replacing your roof and managing tenants.

I want to refurbish the entire house, including a complete kitchen and baths renovation, add an addition on the east side, new roof and siding, new flooring everywhere, paint inside and out"Then ask the GC to go over and put this into a more formal document.

Any person who can achieve property ownership, and then help others have a roof over their heads is a person worth high praise. 

First you need to learn to separate the following:Maintenance: usually things related to wear & tear or tenant damage.Repairs: usually broken items like doors & windows, caused by tenant or nature.Capital Improvements: usually expensive things that wear out: hot water tanks, furnaces, roofs, etc.The seller is correct that Repairs & Capital Improvement items should not be a factor for awhile (ALWAYS get your own inspection to confirm).

Labor/material are going to be different and need to factor that in4) new roof, new HVAC, new water heater, ac panel, replacing plumbing to PVCThese are very variable, if you are getting this from a licensed guy to do it and unlicensed.. is it a big shop or a local shop doing it, is the GC doing it they will put some money on the top so it will be more money5) framing (creating new bedrooms or baths)I would get all these quoted from a good couple of licensed guys and unlicensed to know your numbers to cents
