To prevent injury, squatters, and theft of any functional appliances or copper pipes, screw plywood over each open window and door.

@Caroline Cardona and @Penny Griffus, same advise to you.

I would rather keep a strong relationship with them, then bicker about pennies but I would hate to leave money on the table. 

Should we switch to PEX or PVC over copper?

Copper thieves came in & stripped everything without turning off the water.

I didn't use a penny of my money and was able to pass the deal for $10,000 more than what I put it under contract for.

I appreciate you telling me really how it is and not sugar coating things.

I am very glad now that I have hired PM for my own real estate properties in the Bay Area, they are worth every penny!

These pipes are all type M copper, which has already resulted in a pipe burst last week, and I'm getting them replaced with type L copper along this wall.Upon opening the wall I realized there's zero insulation, which makes sense because it's always cold in the living room. 

The walls have lots of debris in them, the doors are only one coat and you can see through some of it.
