We will try to let them schedule but urgent issues such as water leaks need to be addressed with or without their presence.

Tend to have shallow water depth.

Let's say you inspected a house and found that the water heater is 5 years old and is in good shape.

These are for 3 bedroom homes without water being near. 

That tells you a lot.I would be looking at all this stuff way BEFORE you hire an inspector......Typically inspectors only check the water pressure coming into the house, but not the pressure of the pipes.On a house that old, I would also hire a separate plumber to scope the sewer pipes, unless you know PVC has recently been installed....probably $150.You should also have termite/WDI inspection as part of your home inspection.

It's right on the beautiful Chain O'Lakes in Northern Illinois with 200ft of water frontage!

.$1100 per year x 10 years holding period = $11,000*New Appliances: $2,500*New Water heater: $700*New A/C unit;     $3,500*New Furnace:     $2,500*Repaint interior: $2,500*New Carpet:        

My husband and I are just getting our toes in the water and planned to use a HELOC for our first investment property.

The water heater?

They dump 6 gallons a flush, but all that water keeps the drains clean.
