. $25k sounds like a lot, but when you install new roofs, HVAC systems, hot water tanks, ceramic tile, new supply lines to angle stop valves, vinyl plank flooring in high traffic areas, carpet in bedrooms, faucets, fixtures, electrical panel updates, etc. it really is not that much and important if you plan on a long term hold.
