Now, these two where I've had to "rehab the rehab", such as gutting TWO brand new bathrooms!

I think people like bullet points - they are scanning lots of homes and you want to make they key facts easy to spot: number of BR, bathrooms, garage space, square footage and location.We use two seperate contracts: a regular rental agreement and a simple option to purchase agreement.

We have a layer of oil based kilz on the walls, covered with a layer of knockdown, with two coats of paint, new trim and doors and carpet, bathroom and basement gutted to the studs and rebuilt, and some new drywall, windows open all summer, and....just being there for five minutes and I can smell it on my jacket.  

In the bathrooms the ceiling is the wall color as they are smaller. 

It's a tiny house with only one bathroom so it's not like they took a lot but it's definitely something to be done.

Each house has a new roll of toilet paper, at least one bar of soap in each bathroom, a small bottle of dishwashing liquid in the kitchen, a roll of paper towels and (for houses with a dishwasher) a small box of dishwasher detergent pods. 

All work was done with permits......well most of it was ;) * houses are entry level to next step above entry level. fixed up selling price of 100k to 225k$20/SF = minimal work; (house could be lived in as is, although severly needs updating)replace countertops, salvage kitchen cabinates, stainless steel new appliances. light update to bathrooms, paint and new carpet or refinish existing floors. replace most light fixtures and faucets. replace all doors. light electrical and plumbing primarily only to update fixtures.

It's a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom cape cod.

Any contractors experts in bathrooms that might be able to help?

Not vented, and for a house with 3 full bathrooms and a kitchen there is only one visible pipe vent and whatsmore is that it’s on the opposite side of the house from all the bathrooms.He even shows me where there is a tear in the main power line coming in from the street with bare wire exposed.The plumber also shared with us that any good GC worth their salt will file their own permits for the work they do with the State.This house had no permits which leads me to believe the seller hired some very shady contractors.Ok so at this point I’m pretty much done with the seller.My RE agent is trying to save the sale by continuing to tell me to get an Inspector (for $400) and have them make up a list of all the problems to negotiate with the seller over.I thought I was very courteous and clear when I said “If the seller will pull permits and get the house up to code we can move forward”.The RE agent contacted the seller and his response was “You can get the permits on your own after you buy the house, but I won’t get any permits”.And that’s when we walked away.Good experience and well worth the $100 we paid the plumber I thought.We also stopped talking to that Real Estate company after that.From this experience I have absolutely no faith or see any reason to hire an Inspector.
