Example: A house with a leaking pipe.

Allowing just anyone to go in and wire houses or put in pipes to distribute waste is something they did not want.

We had main riser leaks due to old copper pipes that had corrosion and were springing pinhole leaks likley due to disimalr metals being used in the system creating "galvanic corrosion". it was a big job but we did it all ourselves. went ahead and replaced the main hot and cold risers from the boiler room to the third floor.

Steel/Aluminum Pipes, Aluminum wires ect?

The no money down is a pipe dream.Even if you found a seller to hand over to you a property it is not going to be cash flowing like a monster or else they wouldn't be financing you.There will be closing costs and there will be immediate repairs and loss of current income with the property.So even no money down you will substantially eat into that 70k.The real question is are you going to try to live off of the investment the 70k buys or do you have a great job or business that already pays to sustain you??

It's an old building with cast iron pipes and teaching our residents not to flush every item imaginable has been a process!
