When The Maintenance "Gremlins" Hit, They Really Hit!

I have 5 rentals that I have owned for several years now, all 'cash cows' throwing off money, with few maintenance problems.

Since Christmas, I have had to replace the water heaters in 3 houses, had the blower motor and control unit in an HVAC unit go out, and have a pipe under the foundation of the fifth house start leaking requiring two holes in the foundation!

I would cry, but it wouldn't help, I just laugh and  know its just part of what happens!

I would love to hear stories from others that have hit similar stretches of heavy repairs...
