You can never go wrong with new windows either.

They may also need new HVAC, plumbing, windows, and so forth in a few years.

Alex thats ok for the questions.Background - new investorscope of work - new roof , add a bathroom down stairs, some drywall , paint, new windows, redo kitchen, no duct work for upstairs so add duct work for heat upstairs,house built - early 1900work done - by contractorcash reserve- nonehold for a year- if have to yes I don't have any mortgage or rent to pay and have a full time job in construction. finance- looking at getting a construction loan from local banktaxes, utilities- taxes are 1200 a year utilities would be minumal.the ARV is pretty acurate it sold for 97,000 in 2004 and a house like it is selling for around the 90's or more in my area.days on market- depends most are I would say around 120 days or more but some go quicker depending on the house.

Windows left open in winter with on one home.

Best Sounds like a great business vertical with the home remodeling business!

I hear people say look into the inflation reduction act for money for either the HVAC or window upgrades but when I click on links it just takes me to other links.

In San Diego (maybe all of CA) it is now very difficult to get a new basement bedroom classified as a BR due to egress rules (windows must be low on the wall and large enough that a person can maneuver another person through it). 

Are there timbers going vertically in the attic from the joists to the rafters?

Jason Hirko Most likely still no, if water entered from roof (most possible a tore roof due to wind load), or broke a window then entered, then yes, that portion is covered.

Roof, windows, siding?
