Quote from @Robyn Henderson: My family's 3 unit prewar building in Brooklyn recently had plumbing issues and I'm debating renovating each of the bathrooms.

It's understandable that unexpected things arise sometimes, especially when you're opening up walls or dealing with older electric or plumbing.

My GUESS would be yes, if you touched the plumbing.

I’m looking to network with other investors and contractors who share a passion for the local market.

This is because I'm concerned that even though the things in the house I can see look great things like the electrical, plumbing, or the foundation may need major repair if not immediately relatively soon. 

Quote from @Yvonne Wang: First time working with a contractor here.

My wife and I are real estate investors based in Katy, and I/we are looking to connect with local investors, real estate agents, property managers, and contractors in the area.

Focus on identifying promising neighborhoods in the north or east bay by leveraging your husband’s contractor network, local real estate agents, and online deal-finding platforms.

There were lease violations disrespecting the other neighbor's leased space and harassing the other neighbor and they smoked in the property against lease, lied about conversations, has made up stories about plumbing issues that plumbers couldn't find causes to, tried to get a dehumidifier and force me to pay, accused me on two different occasions very agressively in regards to the heat/electric service.

I spoke with State Farm, but they require plumbing and electrical panel upgrades just to consider reviewing my application.
