When he flushes the toilet, often his toilet is overflowing and urine and feces liquid is coming through the ceiling through the bathroom fan and dripping all over the toilet and the floor.This has happened and been documented 4 times, that I'm aware of as certainly it happens when i don't happen to be here. 

Then 20 minutes later, I receive another email from them saying that the toilet is not leaking, but just overflowing because the lever to flush isn't working properly.Now, would this count as their fault?

With prices rising will you be able to afford two properties.Adversity creates opportunity....Why not list way over market and see if someone desperate, or flush with insurance money, will bite.

The exodus is also changing, transforming from a trickle to a flush. 

I know I have lost money / was not frugal when my bank account was flush with money.

Run the hot water for several minutes to flush out the tank.

No right answer....can you take that 7k and make more $$ enough to pay off the 20k way faster....maybe....of maybe you screw up since you are totally new at this and flush that 7k down the tubes in the blink of an eye......Me personally....I work my *** off to pay off the 20k and then start investing.

Looks like piss water that was never flushed - who paid the water bill?

A cat is definitely less stressful, but not trouble free.Cat food left out overnight invites roaches into the house.This I did not experience, but a friend who is a fellow landlord did - a tenant flushed kitty litter down the toilet and caused a blockage in the drain.One time I had to replace a central AC system, tenant had the cat in a bedroom, with door closed. 

Just because so and so says, he wants to flush his job down the toilet doesn't mean that's the best suited strategy for me.
