I'm envisioning putting in $25k worth of materials, which would give me new floors, new bathroom, new kitchen, expanded rear deck, drywall in almost the entire house, and updating HVAC and plumbing - this doesn't include my labor of course, but I work remotely, and July through October is my slow season, so it kinda falls into the perfect "pack the dog & your tools and go up to the house for 2-3 weeks to get some work done" calendar for me. 

This leak was likely happening before, going unnoticed, because there is damage to the kitchen wall and connecting bathroom.

Example – someone tried to steal the heat pump – cost of repair and recharge ($480), cost of AC cage ($380) etc.Work done:New roofNew LVP flooring throughoutPaint entire interiorNew bathroom New doors inside/outsideKitchen appliances and cabinetsTree trimming/cuttingGeneral yardworkDrywall hanging/wall repairDid you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I requested the seller fix the roof repairs (small fix), bathroom faucet leak, replace water heater (really old), and replace ac/furnace unit (old as well).There’s about 5 smaller things that I said I would fix. 

I'd walk away from a mold property unless a substantial discount is given for remediation and it's clear what part of the home is impacted.

I've got a property closing mid-August, so plenty of lead time, and it's a more or less light renovation, kitchen cabinets, some tile, a little bit of work on the bathrooms, etc (with the exception of some foundation stuff, luckily Rick above recommended someone for that already) and in Beacon Hill.

Paint, small bathroom fixes.

I'm looking to purchase a multi-family property at a discount - the area that I'm looking at has very slow turnover with multiple properties being on the market for 100+ days even in this seller's market.

We are living in the lower 3 bedroom 1 bathroom unit.

There are countless contractors out there offering "cash discounts", which is secret code for I don't pay taxes.
