Turns out that copper pipe thieves had stolen all of the plumbing.

The pipes kept freezing and there was a mold issue (the bathroom was like this when I bought it - not sure how my inspector missed it and it turns out the floor was rotting as well.My handyman couldn't get another tub surround in there and so he installed these wall panels/planks that were waterproof.

You want to have quick access to cash if you have to replace pipes or HVAC or a roof.

For instance, one of my recently acquired buildings in Berwyn has the entire building plumbed with no "unit shut offs" In other words, there is no separation of water pipes from unit to unit.

Others are glued in place in the pipe, or if they're really old leaded into place and either way have no extension.

After experiencing a serious damage via frozen pipes and insurance covered renovation - I feel like I need to figure out where I am with this rental and determine what to do with it.

Two big causes of moisture I have observed are tenants running humidifiers and not using exhaust fans when in the shower (make sure your bathroom has an exhaust fan).

Latchel diagnoses if it is an actual emergency or not, we troubleshoot with real property managers over the phone, and only send out contractors if it is required to fix the emergency.It protects you 24/7 for emergency maintenance issues and can help stop toilet overflows, burst pipes, etc from becoming severe property damage.

But today I found 2 crack pipes in the back lot. 

As my tax returns have grown more complex getting conventional financing has become increasingly exhaustive with my last fannie mae conforming refinance taking 5 months.I have around 575 liquid in deposit account in addition to all the equity in my portfolio.
