I am buying a solid brick, perfect-exterior house. The inside is crap, ruined walls, old plumbing, fuse box, no insulation. Is $50,000.00 (I think it’s overkill based on what I’ve read) enough to tear down the walls, insulate, wire (200 amp), plumb (PVC / copper), and build back up the walls?
The house is huge – two floors (main and upper level) and about 2200 square feet TOTAL (top and bottom floor).

Thank you so much everyone. The house is cheap because the inside was let go. It saddens me the way these old majestic homes are neglected and end up this way. The outside structure will be sound for centuries.

i.e. should I do the plumbing first, the electrics, – how can I do the renovation in stages over a number of years?

I have withheld my rent for this month (I did get legal advice before doing so). I am going to leave in the next week or two if the inhabitable living conditions are not repaired and resolved. Can I get back my security deposit?
The heater was capped in March by PG&E for being a health hazard. They never fixed it. Also, the plumbing is messed up pretty bad…everything backs up and leaks. The owner was made aware of this months ago.
