Every time I try keeping an old toilet it bites me in the *** (No pun intended).

As long as it's not the previous renter/owner, I'd say you're playing on house (pun intended) money.

one caused a water leak that the tenant completely ignored, and I didn't find out about either toilet until the move out inspection.I like the idea of adding "stability bars" where possible to ease the load a toilet can take (sorry for the pun.. just had to).. 

I also started with the VA, and it's a great vehicle (pardon the pun) to get started. 

If the tenant is reasonable and this is the only item at issue then I would spring for a shower rod (pun intended).

Is that the same guy (pun intended) that's now at Guy Brothers Roofing, or is that someone different?

Thanks so much for The welcomes....I will check into the keyword thing and as for the rent it is more than I pay out so that's a plus for me....pun intended.

Heck we even have a local branch manager that has helped us with escrow issues.Brian I am not wanting an argument on sub to (we are way past that), I would like someone who might understand the backside of lending(no pun intended) and could explain the benifit of ever calling a loan.

Money has value (no pun intended) and buying real estate is putting equity in the walls, so it's a transfer of your assets (supposed to be) not a purchase like buying consumable goods.

@Jay Hinrichs yeah I forgot to write pun intended ;)@Edward Liu I think your friend’s great deal in Palo Alto during the last recession was more of a one off then the norm.
