Don't forget about cast iron waste lines - those are getting ridiculously expensive to replace.Vacancy math.

How old are the cast iron waste lines?

I stopped watching the pod cast some time ago. 

It's impossible to give a rough cost per square foot, but here are some big ticket items to look out for:Sewer: Most houses in Pittsburgh were built around the early 1900s and have cast iron sewer pipes under the house, and terra cotta sewer pipes from the house to the main tie in.

I tend to cast a large net when looking for deals, and have gotten under contract for properties in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Alabama, Arkansas and Mississippi.

In business (and fishing lol) there's an expression "cast a wide net"If you guys put together a successful building/remodeling company, you work a w2 (stable income for borrowing, medical insurance etc) house hack/liv in flips, manage your $ carefully your essentially hedging your margins.

I immediately put in a claim with my insurance, they sent a remediation crew and it has been two more weeks until I could get a definitive answer from a plumber that we need to replace the cast iron piping and stack shared between us and the neighbor (her insurance won't pay anything so I'm needing to do it just to get it done). 

He also could do what pundits call “a hawkish cut,” meaning, cut .25% and then in his speech provide hawkish commentary, casting doubt on future rate cuts.

It's like a cell that is expanding but the core is decaying.Just thinking about these homes built in the 30's - 40's - 50's with cast iron pipes, wooden frames, and inefficient electrical systems, what other options are there to keep these areas from falling apart?
