@Cassi Justiz

Super helpful, thanks so much. If you had a great experience with a contractor on this project, I may ask for a referral! Good luck on the new property!

@Daniel Mears thank you!

@Bruce Woodruff thank you, Bruce!

@Nathan Hughes this is great. Sorry about the second house and the forthcoming repairs, but thanks for the insight. Super helpful and good perspective. I’ll make sure to have the inspector spend time focused on the metro of moisture underneath the crawl space.

Will also request pictures of the pipes.

@Lara White totally understand. Thank you. The numbers, and my profitability (and thus my interest in the property) will depend entirely on the current state and estimated repairs.

I am certainly investing in properties for the long haul, not flipping, but if the repair is $5k instead of $1.5k, I’ll need to thing long and hard about it.

@Lara White this is incredibly helpful. Thanks so much!

Some of these my realtor and I have discussed, but a few we haven’t so these are great points.

Do you have any thoughts on cast iron pipes? If they are cast iron, should I be fearful?

Hello everyone,

Under contract on a 1940s home in Oklahoma City that I plan to use as a long-term rental.

The inspection will be completed on Thursday, but wondering what reservations come to mind for the general public of REI's. (I can confirm the roof was replaced 2 years ago)!

For example, some close friends lived in a 1940s home as their primary residence and had a terrible time with cast iron pipes, and because of it are firm that if this house has cast iron, they’d walk. Any feedback on this topic as well would be helpful.

@Will Fraser

A quick google search came up empty, can you provide a little more detail? Thanks so much!

@Ben Scott thanks for the recommendation!

@Micheal Briscoe thanks again. Do you have property in the OKC area that you work with her on?

@Robin Buchanan, it would be great to connect.
