I was thinking more about it and would definitely want some sort of experienced license contractor working on bigger projects(electrical ,plumbing, ect) but I know he does good work for installing carpets/tile and wood floors as well as bathrooms and kithen remodling.

More issues related to the previous owner's policy 'zero maintenance' have crept up since the property was rented (under the slab plumbing leak that required two expensive plumber bills).

Except for the crappy polybutylene plumbing, everything else is in great shape.

Did you have to install new plumbing, AC, electric, and roof within that price too?

plumbing fixture, floods the house?

If you see something on a casual walk-through, such as walls ripped open and copper plumbing stolen, then it will already be factored into the price.The other is these rarely close on time.

Instead, look to plumbing, roof, and electrical for improvements.

My HOA states that I am responsible for flooding that occurred in our building (not due to broken pipes or faulty plumbing).

Upon formal inspection for Home/Pest found unpermitted electrical/plumbing/foundation/HVAC work that is a section 1 safety/health problem.Bank won't reduce price to meet rehab costs, looking to call county permit office and place permit violation liens on the property to see if bank sees them as more serious issues and reduce the price.
