Is there a difference in reporting plumbing, floor replacement or electrician work?

If the capital improvements done in 2007 by the seller were mainly cosmetic than I wouldn't count them as much as replacing heater, water heater, roof, plumbing, electrical, water main to the street etc.

My PM will replace all outlets and switches for every project (saving us about $400), will hang mini-blinds, can do very basic carpentry/plumbing, etc.

I Just worked with a guy just getting into real estate.The house was assessed @ $84K comps are $78-$85 in the street.Estate sale on the mkt for $69,900It's 4 brm 2bath has a new hw tank, fce, pex plumbing, windows siding etc but needs updating & a roof.

The carpet cleaner noticed that all of my plumbing ball valves had yellow handles.

I have no idea what the plumbing and heating could cost to have fixed, but if it can be done for less that 12k would this be a deal worth attempting?

Unfortunately, in a multi you are not legally able to do your own major electrical or plumbing.

My parents paid $30k for their house in the area I live (DC suburbs) in 1968, and that was the absolute last time you could buy a house for that price:)That said, doesn't maintenance (i.e. a new roof or plumbing) cost the same in a $30K house as it does in $150K house (assuming houses are same size)?

Plumbing issue caused water damage.

Unless for some reason you like that look, I would recommend getting rid of any fixtures that have gold or brass (I use brushed nickle in my houses).Personally, I like to replace all lighting and plumbing fixtures throughout the house to ensure everything matches -- for the $3000 it costs, it adds a nice updated look to the house.As for the door, what do the rest of the doors in the house look like?
