Like renting I feel like big problems like structure / subfloor/ piping/electrical/plumbing (aside from inside the tank) are the home owners responsibility- but I WANT to fix them.

I have picked up new skills including framing, painting, some plumbing, some electric, and have done numerous kitchen and bathroom renovations.

Some unforeseen issues could include plumbing and electrical if the house is really old and hasn't been updated at all.

If you are tearing out the kitchen and bathrooms and potentially redoing some plumbing and electrical...

Well, had to open some walls to complete the whole home electrical upgrade, exposing plumbing that guess what, that's out of code too so now get to R&R some plumbing.

Full scale renovation interior including; insulation, sheetrock, texture, paint, flooring, trim, new doors, T&G pine in office/sitting area, new cabinets, new electrical and plumbing fixtures, new water heater and furnace, cleaned out paneling from basement and redid wiring and water lines with pex.

Second Floor is has no plumbing or electric installed what's so ever.

Replaced windows, updated electrical, plumbing and many little things such as fixing broken light fixtures, doors.

If there are signs of structural damage, the inspector may recommend you get a structural engineer to assess the property.Key points to inspect would be:- Foundation- Plumbing- Electrical system- Floors- Roof- Mechanical systems- Hazardous material - mold, asbestos, termite damage, etc.Best of luck to you moving forward!

If so, were permits pulled & were they installed by a professional5.Are any of the homes rented to students6.Is there a flat roof7.are there asbestos shingles The Year that the following were updated (either partially or fully) would be good to know:- Heating systems- Roof- Plumbing- electricalSome companies will not write properties with systems that have not been updated.As long as you are living there, the proper policy for a 1-4 family is a "Homeowners" policyc.
