For example you can hire an electrician to re-wire the 2nd floor of the house and they will do that and even patch the walls, but why pay an electrician to patch the walls.

But does need carpet throughout and sheet rock patching and painting. 

I can't say how old the roof is because the building is probably 60 to 70 years old and it's been patched and layered so many times I can't tell.

Patch, paint, carpet, maybe some new cabinets or something like that.  

Good news is it’s just a small patch. 

Once pipes are replaced you will need drywall finisher to patch and paint.

The house is in pretty good shape and would need minimal work in order to bring it to rental standards- just some patches and paint.  

We can't throw away over $500 on an application fee, and a wing and a prayer that FHA inspectors wont come through and tack thousands of dollars on our budget to remove this paint, replace that shingle, and patch this hole.

Perhaps the carpet in one room can be patched from the carpet in another.

Example, I can easily see bayview already connecting to dog patch to soma to DT.
