Electrical (Copper, Aluminum, breaker boxes, GFCI) 6.

Small things like aluminum wiring, pests nesting in insulation, rotting boards where you don't expect them, etc can really add up in time and money.I've got a bad habit of looking at a place and seeing how "easy" it would be to do.  

My SFR's were built in the period where Aluminum wiring was used so it depends on your style/age house.The worst I ever had a tenant do?

That's in the southeastern part of the state.

Repaint exteriorShould do's Complete rewire from 100 amp service with tube main breakers to modern 200 amp service.Replace old 1950's windows that are cheap aluminum balanced or wood channels that have been pained shut, but at the front of the lot near the road in the front corner of the property.

Aluminum wire is another issue especially is someone changed the device and install one the is not rated for aluminum.

A 2.5 would work if it has a good finish(for scratch resistance such as Aluminum Oxide or Ceramic Bead) Grip strip is not the easiest product to work with if you are a beginner.

Hello, Anyone in the Southeastern Mass area with prefoeclousure experience?

Aluminum wiring, It is safe as long as you know how to and what devices that need to be used when dealing with it.
