The marketing packet I sent to my buyers stated that all mechanicals and electrical were functioning perfectly fine.I stated that my rehab items were optional for my buyer.I didn’t have to do this, but I did, because I realize that some people want brand new everything.This investor has told me that if it’s functioning, then he see’s no reason to replace it.
