I have bids to tie in plumbing and electric to make a second set of hookups.

I have purchases a house and need some plumbing and bathroom makeover.

Purchase price: $70,000 Cash invested: $80,000 4/1 converting to 3/2Full RehabUpgraded electricity, plumbing, added HVAC, new roof, all new walls, sub floor, flooring, opened up living/dining/kitchen into one large area ...

Hey Carl, I'm not sure about that method, but this is what I do know. 

So, I went to the job, showed him the math and paid him his $5,000.I own a fairly large plumbing company, construction company with licenses for 8 specialty trade, do large jobs like building hotels and underground utilities for many cities, own several apartment buildings, own real estate in several states, have no bookkeeper in my office, do all the books myself with the exception of payroll done by a part-time secretary, work in the field 6 days a week and the only thing my wife does is she manages the properties, collects rents and makes bank deposits.A wife should be a wife and not a business partner.

At the house I had as an arbitrage we paid to clean the sewer the line after it was clogged by wipes, condoms, whatever else...but then eventually found out it had serious plumbing problems. 

There are advantages and disadvantages of each method. 

Hi Tim,This property is a Duplex with a full basement that already has plumbing set up for a bathroom and kitchen, it can be turned into a triplex.

And if it was built around 1900 I would want to know what kind of condition the plumbing system is in and the electrical is probably way out of code.

It just seems like such a waste of space in the room, would only invite bacteria on the carpet, and is an unnecessary area for possible plumbing problems in the future.
