I'm looking for a real estate agent to help me get comp on property in Wayne County Indiana.

In MOST states, all finished floor elevations and ALL mechanicals (electrical components including switches and outlets, HVAC, water heaters, appliance, etc.) must be a minimum of 2 feet ABOVE the BFE.

In Texas, there is a specific disclosure form for mold (that is separate from other environmental issues), so you cannot avoid the disclosure ... or you are liable if you do.Travis WestCIEC (Certified Indoor Environmental Consultant)MAC0325 (Licensed Mold Assessment Consultant, Texas Department of State Health Services)

Originally posted by @Derek LeBlanc:im just trying to find an easier way to estimate repair costs. i am no contractor and have no idea how prices run. i went to home depot to look at prices of things but that comes nowhere close to what it would cost for installation and everything..so how do i figure out repair costs if i have never been in constructionYou're looking for shortcuts and there are no shortcuts when it comes to estimating (at least not at first)...In my opinion, the best way is to break the rehab down into all the major components and then break the components down into specific tasks. 

If you use a shorter term then the principal component of the payment eats up more of your free cash flow each money.

@Nik Moushon  in our area here in the north west you have two major issues.You have commercial timber lands ( huge HUGE areas designated as such as big as many states on the east coast) these lands are protected for timber production. in Oregon you need 160 acres minimum lot size for a single home in many of these timber reserve loans.then you have prime low land farm land.. and those are even tougher to try to develop.. no matter that they are not near as valuable as farm land.. but its the farm bureaus protecting their turf.Then you get to CA and you need to do full blown EIR's  ( environmental impact reports) these can cost 200k to 1 mil up front with no assurance your project will be approved..its a tough game out here in the west. 

Not to mention that by doing all the renovation you have done you have essentially taken all of the value add components out of the equation, hence making it less desirable for another investor.

To answer your specific question though about who to call - there are companies that specialize in duct cleaning - they may be stand alone operations that focus on that, or a smaller component of a larger mechanical company.  

The house is not a money pit, being all the major components have been replaced or will be in the next coming months.

Permits and inspections help preserve property values and enhance health and safety of the community.If you're changing key components or systems, such as structural, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, driveways, etc... then you're going to need a permit to make sure the work is inspected and documented that it meets current code.
