One tip I might offer about replacing water lines or installing underground wiring. This is especially relevant if you intend to hold the property long term. If you are using pex or another type of flexible pipe. Get an oversize roll piping and run your waterline or electric line through it. An example would be a one inch pipe with your half inch waterline in it. This allows you the ability to attach a new line to the old line and pull it through eliminating the need to excavate.

Go to Lowes and spend a few hundred for pipes and fix in two days. I know I do too much diy but I can't stand to be ripped off.

something isn't right here.

People have been finding legal ways to do things that are not morally right forever. You can't legislate morality. 

If they are charging a fee for overseeing the work, in most states they need to be a state licensed contractor. Ask for their contractor's license number.

Stanley, your post is now 20 minutes old.

This is a direct violation of their lease. Nip it in the bud before they start violating other terms in their lease.

So was he found innocent of these charges?

Seems like I am the one always looking at things from a different angle so here goes.  Right now you are living the life that most middle aged people with responsibilities dream of. Being a landlord isn't a carefree existence.  If you have a mortgage the bank is your boss. The tenant is your boss. The building codes inspector is your boss. The house is your boss. Are you planning to use professional management? I would take the money and use it to do at least one low dollar flip each year. You have no long term commitment and can flip where ever your van takes you.

What was so difficult about Wells Fargo's flip criteria? Hopefully they will get a better appraisal come refi time.
