        "text": "Foreclosed property interior repairs typically begin with stabilizing the structure and addressing urgent safety hazards. The initial phase focuses on inspecting for hidden water leaks, resolving drywall damage, and assessing structural framing. Once the home is secure, work transitions to functional and cosmetic rehabilitation, including patching or hanging new drywall, laying tile, replacing damaged trim, and applying fresh interior paint. For specialized trades like plumbing and electrical updates, a general contractor coordinates licensed sub-trades while internal crews handle the carpentry, surfaces, and finishes. This sequenced approach prevents new finishes from being ruined by underlying utility or moisture issues.",
