My wife has stories of washing dishes using a large tub, and taking cold showers with water borrowed from our neighbor's hose, during the time our water was off to redo the plumbing!

If there are other options let me know.1st: Hard money- for the BRRRR method. 2nd.

We have had some plumbing issues and the kitchen ceiling has been removed, treated for mold etc.

Makes sense - just minimal construction to add doors/windows/stairs and some plumbing.

Gut demolish the walls and floors and plumbing and electric, but keep the foundation untouched?

We followed the Dave Rasmey method pretty rigorously up to step 4 (have an emergency fund and pay off all consumer debt.)

I wanted to know roughly how much it would cost so that I can factor that into my offer price, but the various plumbing companies weren't willing to give me a range, they probably don't wanna commit before seeing the place, stating that it depends how long the pipes need to be, how they need to seal up the connection to the well, etc. 

I wanted to ask if anyone had any experience in the following methods of finding deals:- Foreclosure- Probate- Short sales / pre-foreclosureAny pro's & con's of searching this way?

Get quotes from local specialists for plumbing and electric?

I'm lost by your question but you want to focus on the income method to determine value.
