Hi Brianna, it's nice that you have an unlimited budget and unlimited time, I suggest you team up with someone who can show you what to do and save you a ton of time. If you want more details shoot me a direct message.

Taxes are only going to go up. There is something out there called "unfunded liabilities". The states and counties and cities will have to raise taxes to cover pensions for firemen, teachers, civil servants and oh yeah, themselves. If taxes are high where you are now, they will only get much much worse.

 Actually, it increases the likelihood. ;-) Most people don't use a garbage disposal properly and they put things in there that don't belong. But, I looked at one of my sinks with a garbage disposal. It's more like the picture below. Since your stub out is to the right you would swing the pipe going to the wall to the right where ever it meets the stub out.You asked a good question and one I had to stop and think about. Normally the stub out is on the left side.

Hi David, I'm not sure about your plumbing code up north in Canada, but in CT sanitary T upside down like that is actually against code here in CT. My plumber sent me the following image as to how it should be done (one of my kitchens had a similar setup to yours). 

 Actually, his has a garbage disposal. Does your plumber have a diagram with two sinks and a garbage disposal with the stub out in the same location as his? It'd be interesting to see.

 Most homeowners are responsible for the water from the shut off valve at the sidewalk (or attached to the condo) all the way through to the faucets. Leaks could be a washing machine hose, water heater that has rusted out, a pipe inside the wall that was hit with a screw or nail during construction that has finally given way or the owner or tenant pounding nails into the water wall to hang pictures, or the ice maker hose in the kitchen, the dishwasher hose, etc. If the unit has a basement start there and look for water. It's also possible, someone is using your outside hose to water their side of the grass. ;-)

Kitchen Double Sink Plumbing

I just had my kitchen double sink plumbing redone. Does it look right to you? It has a tee between the first sink and the disposal. Thank you in advance for your response.

Looks ok. You have to be able to get the water from both sinks to the "stub out" and since the "stub out" is between rather than to one side, you use whatever "T" you need to get there. He could have used an "accordion" tube but accordion tubes don't meet code for waste water. (Stuff builds up in the folds)

Here is the Wrong Way to do it.

Forget about trying to remove it, that doesn't happen. However, you could create an LLC that is within an LLC that you have an attorney as the contact. That slows them down. (Just be aware that LLC costs in CA are high)

 Lol. No worries. I find your posts to be amusing and those who don't need to find "perspective". ;-)  Also, I am wayyyyy beyond ever being offended by anyone. 

 Subject To is a lot more than documents. That being said, both Austin and Houston have attorneys who will do Subject To closings. Generally you fill out a TREC with a financing addendum. Then open escrow, order a title report, have a "disclosure" sheet for the seller to sign, set a moving date and record the transfer. Make sure you have plenty of money in the bank so you can make the mortgage payments without fail. Taxes are a big deal and they go up from time to time so plan ahead. Have the insurance transferred to cover your ownership.
