So I have house under contract that I plan to fix and rent out.Has foundation issues (center of slab is the 'high point" and as you move toward the perimeter, the slab drop increases...so the edges have sunken over time...its an older house).Sewer test failed as well, cast iron pipes...typical of this area.Debacle:  do I fix the slab, the plumbing, both or neither at this time?

My wife and I live in Spokane (ironically given your post) and our properties are in NY state.

Cast iron rads:- even heating- doesn't suck moisture out of the air- most people recommend keeping them if you have them as they are superior to baseboard or forced air heat. - doesn't require new ductwork.

Also, ironically, I just had a 8 unit portfolio land on my lap Today and have opportunity to seller finance.

It's not so much about the 'easy life' as it is the opportunity of getting another investment iron in the coals.

There is a small iron door to take out the garbage cans.
