I bought a flip property in Houston, located in the 77063 zip code.

@Elise Bickel thanks for the info I have a home under contract now where the home is very close to the next neighborhood which price is higher but with Zillow and me in putting the zip code I realized there was homes in that area with the same zip code in my 0.5 Miles range.

@Nick HarringtonTo make the transition properly (to Universal Plumbing Code) you have to use a dialectic union to make that transition however you will have to solder a pex or cpvc adapter into the dialectic union.

Go to the county court house for:  eviction court lists of landlords, some times code violations are avialble some times not.  

If the city comes back with a bunch of code upgrades that you did not plan on, that could quickly eat up all your margin.Most insurance carriers will not pick it up a fire damaged property until the fire and water damage is remediated and the structure is stabilized. 

Per the Chicago building code, you'll likely need a second stair.

Go to your county court house and there is a wealth of information available to you; probate, evictions, divorces, bankruptcy, tax defaults, code violations, private party lenders.

If I open up a wall then I am responsible for bringing all framing/electrical/plumbing up to current code before hanging the new drywall.

I use Postlets and Tourvista which are free and these produce HTML code that can be copied into Craigslist which create great looking ads.

I am considering purchasing a house worth a significant amount of money and moving it to another lot in a zip code nearby.
