But the home buyer I mentioned earlier doesn’t have the force of the new law working for her, and her sellers and their agents are not feeling as much pressure as they would undoubtedly be feeling under the TRID requirements.

Water pressure can be an issue but I really have only seen that with a well.

There are 2 points to consider here:- Rising rates is good for banks (generally speaking) because it takes pressure off of the margin squeeze they've had to deal with for years. 

If it had been a water line, and since water lines are always under pressure when the water is on at the shut off valve, then the leak would have been consistent whether or not the bathroom had been used or not.

NOPE - I had faucet off and new one on and then the drain piece broke, actually fell out bc of the pressure I had gently applied and was already broken anyway - just waiting to fall apart in my hands.

Repairs-  You cannot modify the property in any way so with some utilities requiring inspections before service can be initiated, any required repairs cannot be doneYou can have an inspector do a visual inspection and have a plumber do a pressure test which can identify some issues

You could use a hollow log if you wanted and if it would hold pressure.

I'd love to hear what u have to say on the matter of successfully researching a market. when I read this post you were in the process of getting your license congratulations. would you have any properties that would be good buy and hold multi families in the Yonkers or mount Vernon surrounding areas.

New pressure treated bottom plate even.

Over the years of struggling in this business, trying to put deals together, working to earn a commission or an equity profit, I am blessed to have had the ability to be innovated and with creative imagination to invent systems, techniques and concepts that produced short cuts and made my job easier, rewarding and fun.Some things I have used or invented to help myself and associates to relieve the pressures of this business:A business card that people keep and play with and ask me for moreA Indian Head Nickel that has gotten the attention of bankers, prospects and many people who have received it.
