New metal roof, gutters, cornices, new HVAC,  electrical updated etc . plus cosmetic fixes, paint, plaster, floors.

Ask age of roof shingles/metal obviously. 

If you were paying for something say precious metals... often do a EFT to the company... some people do wires when buying a vehicle/etc vs showing up with cash. 

I am in the Treasure Valley so can't really offer a ton of services, but just wanted to say welcome to Idaho!  

When it first opened is was used a vacation rentals the over time became more long term rentals to locals and since the couple was getting up in age a lot of the cottages were neglected, except 6 have new metal roofs last done about 5 years ago..This is a major undertaking that I'm not 100% sure my wife and I can handle she seems to think after renovations we could gross over 150K per year but I'm a bit more skeptical but seriously considering it but hate to sink all cash into the deal if we can't find financing.. 

Hopefully I'll know enough in a year or so to help develop more realistic numbers for future analysis.I've briefly thought about dumping it, but I've got the emotional part of me where it's like, I just met all the tenants, had great conversations with all of them, it's not like they're my friends but there'd definitely be some awkwardness there.

I see a lot of out-of-state investors missing a home by a block or two, and they they are left trying to secure everything at the home. ( Metal bar casing around AC units and extra security at home) Getting a good team together on the ground is always your safest bet.

The hose from the wall to the toilet is the metallic kind that looks like snake scales or knights armor, not braided.

Put the metal into a separate dumpster.

Sorry, no i will not draw a map out for everybody, that treasure map comes with a price.
