They did all the plumbing and electrical behind the wall and then the decision to move the vanity over 36 inches.

Simple remove the overflow cover and use a small snake to remove anything that may be clogging the downstairs tub drain.I suggest you invest in a snake that can be advance with an electric drill.This is your first step before calling a plumber.

I do a lot of the work on these properties myself (minus electric, gas,etc) and I'm nervous about him coming in and dinging me for anything and everything that might b exposed right now inside.

One problem you may run into is the venting of the unit so make sure you check on what the code says on the venting of the units . also they have a Gas as well as electrical for them .

Hi Steve, I'm not an official expert, but I do dabble with dryer vents both for fun (weird, I know) and in my line of work (plumbing, air, electric).I hope these help:1) 90 degree bends are pretty bad to have because they restrict air flow.

I think if given a Vanilla Box with paint ready walls, electrical panels and outlets, sealed concrete floors, finished ceiling with lighting, HVAC, sprinklers (may not be needed), and bathroom, I could do everything else myself with quite a bit of reserve capital.

They will want to know:- locations (need that to determine fire protection)- Age, Sq Footage, current limits- claims history- dates systems (Electric, Plumbing, Roof, Heat)- any burglar or fire alarmsthey may need- do the tenants have pets- are there in ground tanks- who the current coverage is with and when it renews- tax id for the owner (FEIN for corp/LLC or SS # for individual)With that info, it may be a quick answer as to whether or not your current carrier is competitive or they  may need to rate it up.

Update electrical outlets to bring up to modern standards.

Once the offer is accepted, if no known issues with the water or electric exist you will be allowed to do an inspection but you incur all the costsThe Earnest Money is $500 for properties under 50k and $1000 for properties above 50k.

My in-laws already have several other rent houses on the property.The property is not going to be sold (it is needed retirement income for my in-laws) and my wife is the heir.In addition to rent payments, we would also cover paying property taxes on the improvements we have made, and bear 50% of the costs for maintenance/repair of shared use facilities (electric gate, road maintenance, etc.)Can you explain how leasing for $1 per year and splitting profits through a partnership would be preferred to essentially splitting profits as a form of rent payment?
