How high will your cabinets be after you put on the counters? 

I live 40 miles away, so I called the owner of the biggest plumbing co in the city and he and 2 techs dropped everything to get to the property within 10 minutes of my call.I had put a garage outdoor access remote on the outside of the house.. they couldn't get in thru that because THE POWER WAS NOW OFF.Luckily i had put a coded door knob on the kitchen door that opens to the deck-- i gave them the code and they were inside instantly.The water heater was STILL SPEWING WATER full blast in a stream so strong it was hitting the second story ceiling and hitting the ELECTRICAL PANEL also located in the garage and that's what had knocked out the power .The plumbers immediately turned off the inside water main cutoffand sent me photos of the EMERGENCY SITUATION the pm so calmly let me know about by email an hour earlier.i fired the pm co that instant and got on the phone to STATE FARM (my HOMEOWNERS/rental policy dwelling ins co) all whiledriving an hour to the property.i also called the city's best WATER EMERGENCY REMEDIATION COMpany while en route.When i got there, the water was turned off ( finally)the drywall ceiling had fallen in, the light fixtures destroyed, the garage door opener plastic case was HALF FULL OF WATER and there were 1000s of mold blooms on every surface and hundreds of stacks of spiky growing black mold (looked like iron fiilings we used to play with in that game we all had as kids where u use a magnet and drag the iron filings around to put hair and a mustache on the bald guy cartoon photo) the mold spikes were 1.5" tall on the wood railings and stairs going into the house, on all of my beautiful built in wooden garage shelves--- what a mess-- like the streets of Beirut after the bombs went off.and I don't have allergies -- but i could not even STAND inside the garage because the WET MOLD MILDEW SMELL was so strong it instantly gagged me and gave me a headache and i couldn't breathe.So here we are on Jan 17 and now i know that the BEST rental dwelling policy does NOT COVER MOLD REMEDIATION AT ALL ( so far $14,000) but it does cover water damage with a $2500 deductible...

The ones that do need some work just need new flooring and possibly a painting of the kitchen cabinets.

My aunt is very "conservative" with her money lol, and bought a mobile home for her first home, she does art and faux for a living doing acid stain concrete, cabinets, concrete counter tops, etc. and she made her mobile home look INCREDIBLE.

Before we even offered on the property my partner and I walked the house with our agent and looked it over well.We didn't see much of anything wrong besides maby painting cabinets, new door, and some flooring.Now that we are closing on the house we are taking it upon ourselves to inspect it deeper.So I'm asking if we hired an inspector what would he do? 

Doin a rehab just installed some cabinets now need someone to install granite countertops.

I know the tenant is replacing the floor currently in the other side of the duplex, and I believe she said she is putting in new cabinets in the kitchen herself.

Its almost unbelievable to think that land differentiates so much by just hundreds of feet in built up communities.

@Kuba F. and @Abhijit Deywhile I am a CPA who prpares hundreds of real estate investor returns annually, and while I am also a buy and hold investor, I also spent several years working at the IRS, so I have some perspective on this move.I spent a couple years working for the IRS at the Philadelphia Service Center, the biggest IRS Center in the world at the time. 

I am familiar with Dalton as I sold some larger apartment buildings there with a client many years ago ( they owned hundreds of units in town there) .It was right after the down turn around 2009,2010.
