I've done sound system installations and soundproofing so I hope to be able to apply those skills as well as my service tech experience at doing electrical work, plumbing (water and steam), and construction to the real estate field.

The only difference is that the real estate is a more tangible asset than the book of business that, for example, a plumbing company might have.

With these units "in the attic" what challenges exist in the lower units when you have to run supply and waste plumbing and electrical wiring (from a basement?).

Thank you both- I'd estimate actual value around 245.Old plumbing is my other concern...If I were to ask for furnace replacement- should I put it into the initial offer or wait for an inspection and ask then?

It would likely also require electrical, plumbing and HVAC permits.If your municipalities Neighborhood Services Department (whatever the permit issuing/inspecting department is named) is available via website, check to see if issued permits are available there, in some larger cities they are.If your assessor (city or county) has property data available on the internet, you could look up the address and see what the current zoning is.

I remember the first time we got quotes to re-plumb a rental property. 3 different licensed plumbers wanted to charge us $800 per fixture.

(Stolen plumbing, Localized mold, etc).

And, because my husband has years of construction experience and a plumbing license, if I had my real estate license, we'd have all we need to do more wholesaling and rehabs.

And if this house needs HVAC and new wiring, what about plumbing, roof, cabinets, doors, etc?

Inspections begin from your initial walk through before you make your offer and specific inspections, roof, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, etc will be done after an offer is accepted and make sure your contract is subject to inspections.
