Entire sewer line replacement

Hi everyone.

I got another multi a month ago (4 units).

So I new the foundation needs some repairs wich fixed it.

So after that they checked the plumbing system in order to be able to provide me a WARRANTY.

They came up with the leaking sewer line on the entire building.

I am at 35k expense to get it done.

I want your guys thoughts to should I move forward or just postpone the repairs?

Appreciate it in advance.

I would definitely get multiple quotes for this. $35k is a lot of money to fork over and eating years worth of profit. Plumbing issues can get very serious so it's better not to delay it, but definitely get multiple quotes as I have dealt with some unscrupulous plumbers in the past (I have an awesome plumber now). They will tell you to fix 10 things vs just the 2 things that really need to be fixed.
