After 3 months of total exhausting rehab I refinanced @ 13% & paid him off.I still own this property (it's rented) & the smaller home next door just went on the mkt for $599,900.But we do get 18-20% returns up here based on what we initially pay & what we re-sell them at by holding the notes @ 12-14%. 

If the main sewer pipe to the street later broke/failed, is it your responsibility because you “should have just replaced it”?

I have been told to stay away from cold weather locations because pipes freezing during the winter, which can get quite expensive.

Yeah its a pretty weird situation, but ill exhaust every resource before I pass up the opportunity to sell it to a buyer that may be interested.

Nashville is still piping hot with opportunity to make money.

While your not likely to encounter a lot of damages on a new home, it can happen and you never know if it's a cheap water heater or a major pipe burst.

If it a short run or if its galvanized pipe you are better off just replacing the line.The easiest thing to do is rent a ditch witch and create a new trench and drop in a new PEX water line.

Exactly what a dance-off has to do with solvent-welding Schedule 40 DWW pipe, I still haven't figured out.

It's been vacant for a few years. no radiators. the plumbing pipe condition unknown.I contacted 3 HVAC contractors. 2 recommeded mini splits. 1 suggests gas heat pump.I found some discussions on BP about mini splits with favorable experience.

@Russell Brazil so you're telling me that everyone who browses the MLS on a daily basis has a pre-approval in the pipes constantly and gets another pre-approval every 90 days?
