Do you have a step by step list when looking at the potential house?

I am moving out to the Destin/Fort Walton Beach area at the beginning of next year in January for work. My goal is to buy a house in the area and house hack the remaining rooms. I am hoping to connect with other like-...

The interior is a total gut: new insulation, sheetrock, plumbing, electric, kitchen, bathroom, doors, windows, and landscaping.

During the renovation, I faced several challenges due to the home’s age and hidden damages, including ruptured plumbing, termite infestation, rotted wood, and lack of insulation.

After assessor comes out and consults with insurance company, they'll send demo guys out to come do demo work and remove wet drywall, insulation, etc. they'll usually put down dehumidifiers and let the place air out a bit to see what actually needs replacing and what was able to dry out.
