So locating a plumbing stack for these bathrooms would be straightforward.Going from 1/1 to 2/2 would probably raise the potential rents on these units by $2-300/month a piece.As far as the cash flow, this depend how much money I'm willing to leave in the deal.

They had a small plumbing issue that I had to call a plumber for, and just this week they asked me to replace the thermostat with a programmable one so they don't have to run the A/C all day in the summer and I have to find a handyman to install one.

The house had aluminum wiring at the panel which had to be changed and a lot of plumbing changes.

I knew of a few people that were doing this for disaster relief situations (single container ready for plumbing connections and generator).

I will come back here and periodically give you all an update on how I'm doing each week.Here is a brief summary of what I gathered from the walk-through (applies to both units unless specified):Get paint inspected for lead on the exterior, Repurpose hardwood floors, Replace all windows then board them up, Replace back door (unit 1), Full rehab in bathroom, Fix electrical panel in kitchen, Gut all walls and floor in kitchen down to the studs (unit 2), Repair hole in bedroom ceiling (unit 2), Add appliances and countertops, Replace hot water heaters, Rewire outlets, Add air conditioning unit, Fix plumbing in kitchen and bathroom, Paint entire house inside/out, Work on Landscape in the back, clean roof and gutters, add down spouts for gutters, add gas meters, and gut and redo the small balcony off the kitchen.I would appreciate it very much if you seasoned investors will give me your input, suggestions/advice, and comments.

Victor N. ...I purchased many properties without utilities on, but estimated repair cost for (plumbing, electrical, HVAC)..With a great deal, most of those items in SFR are not deal breakers for me...I perform my own inspections, but my handyman meets me at the property to inspect roof/under house/attic.

No lead paint, galvanized plumbing, or master meter nonsense.

Or you do any plumbing at all they will want it all done up to code with the proper venting and cleanouts.

Hi,A week ago one of the houses I own had a plumbing issue at 1:00 am.

If lower unit tenant still gets water, you know theres a plumbing leak or a roof leak making its way down there.
