So on numerous occasions, I have expressed my concerns about staying within my budget.Now on top of this, the property manager let the pipes freeze and they leaked and the boiler also cracked which I was told to file an insurance claim.

Here are a few lessons I learned during the renovation, many of which stemmed from the age of the house and unexpected hidden damages:1.Damaged Plumbing: Several plumbing pipes were ruptured or severely damaged, requiring replacement.2.Termite Infestation: I discovered termites, which led to additional costs for treatment and repairs.3.Rotted Wood: Significant sections of wood in the structure were rotted and had to be replaced.4.Lack of Insulation: There was no insulation in the att Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

The problem is the foundation is sinking, the outdated polybutylene pipe is leaking in the crawl space and the electrical is outdated.

Think about it, was it harder or easier to plumb a house with cast iron or galvanized piping or Pex.

In January 2024, our pipes froze, which caused major problems.

This dragged the process out even longer, making it both exhausting and expensive—I’ve already spent nearly $10,000 in legal fees.

It hasbeen exhausting.

Even though your market might prove expensive, I would exhaust all options before ruling it out.Truth is, you have a unique competitive advantage in your market.  

I don't think any water is coming into the crawlspace other than the plumbing leaks in pipes running under the house.
