.- Gas Boilers - 30+ Years Old- Hot Water Heaters - 10+ Years Old- Electric Panel - Upgraded within past 10 years but could be upgraded even more- Pipes are old, corroded, and some leak often- Windows/Doors that haven't been updated require much more labor to remove/replace as the wood is often rotted- Roof is old, has recent touch ups but will need a major repair down the road (10 years hopefully)- Interior is covered with old wall paper, most walls have multiple layers and are a PAIN to remove- Also, shag carpets were apparently a thing back in the day so get ready to rip those bad boys up and replace them or refinish the hardwood if possibleThere is much more of course but those are some that I definitely noticed right away and are what I plan on tackling, priority wiseAny questions let me know!

I would still buy on actual numbers and not pay a premium, the new build market in some areas are softening and owners need to give some concessions to fill up the units.. 

Solid wood wrapped stick tile vinyl?  

I’ve found tenants have been very willing to pay a premium for a higher quality landlord experience.

Also the interest rate does come at a higher premium then I originally was quoted so may not be worth it either.

I’m new here and plan to buy the two books.Maybe they already answer this question but I’m wondering, what kind of person do I call to get wood beam and wold staircase repair done in my gutted fixer upper?

Challenges that we already know about are:- Since my great grandfather passed in 1995 the land has not been farmed and has since grown up so it is wooded but not with pretty trees and would likely need to be cleared. - Economics in Dalton GA have been depressed for some time.

A few common items to be on the lookout for:  Look everywhere inside and out for peeling or missing paint and fix as necessary, test windows to make sure they open, can stay open, close, and lock (old wood windows may have problems doing this regularly or be stuck all together), review basement for any signs of standard black, non-toxic mold/standing water, make sure all stairs are cleared of tenant items (no bikes, boxes, etc.).   

(Is this a wood frame property?
