Where things get interesting domestically is with the hedge funds and other large investment funds.

Are there any deferred maintenance items that you might have missed in your inspection (e.g. how old's the roof, the HVAC, the plumbing, the water heaters, etc)?

It's cheaper then re-plumbing the house, but still expensive.

., 6) plumbing drain scope, etc, 7) floors restored as original concrete.I did most of the above in four days, but it was intense.

I'm always changing electrical and plumbing fixtures, among other things, so it doesn't make much sense to pay someone to check old stuff that I'm going to rip out.
