Even some basic plumbing and electrical. if you've already got something like that here, please excuse my ignorance, but if not..........

The past owners no longer live in the property and the bank has cleaned up the property and normally listed it with a realtor.Many of the issues that an inspection will turn up (plumbing or electrical issues) are not going to be assessed with REO's because the utilities are turned off with REO's.

I use a licnesed home inspector (after my own physical inspection) and also have my contractors look at the AC, roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, etc.

The landlord has not done a thing, the problems in the house is 2 of the 3 toilets do not work(no plumbing) 2 of the 3 showers do not work, there is black stuff on the cabinets that will not come off, the whole living room is "wall-less"(the wall was taken down for insulation to be put in) and it is still like that.

Told him to work it out with the inspector.OCTOBER 23 Scheduled Plumbing, cabinets, electricians and fireplace guys for the same day.

Plumbing problems in or under the slab can be major repairs.

another rehab might require re-wiring outdated electric systems, new plumbing, mold damage.... who knows???

Eventually, roof, appliances,plumbing etc, etc etc.3.

Generally, it must have a working bath and kitchen, and working plumbing and electric.

i think it may be better to have 2 part time handymen who could be flexible...it seems he doesn't do the work but just contracts it out and so i'm basically paying for him to schedule the expensive contractors...maybe i'm being unrealistic but a part time handyman and a PM should be able to handle the contracting if that's how we want to go....or, the full time handyman should be capable of painting, plumbing, etc.
