The year because the handle on the storm door was broken on the bottom and the bathtub had mildew that the tenants failed to clean. 

Get rid of any bathtubs, someone could drown in one.

We found a pretty nice deal and went to see the property only to find out the bath tub was removed and replaced with a pretty nice shower stall. while this would probably be my personal preference, I  don't imagine it to be very appealing to families which are the tenants we target.  

We found this long hairy thing in his bathtub and were afraid to touch it. 

Even if you don't have many people with kids, some will have kids and will need a bathtub.

They typically run water in the bathtub, add some, dye to the water, run about 150gallons of water for a three bedroom house, and watch to see see if any dye shows up where it shouldn't.As previously mentioned, the leach lines tend to fail much more often and sooner then the tanks.Typical septic replacements for us, 8,500 for an off lot airation system, up to 16,000 if they have to install mounnd or drip system.WellsWells, majority of problems are pressure tanks, well pumps, typically under 500.

It's not worth the extra money to me for the flood insurance.But, if the old lady upstairs floods her bathtub, and I need to move out while repairs are made, my insurance will cover my hotel up to $4,000, and give me replacement value on all of my stuff.I got a discount through AARP, and pay about $14/month. 

There's only so many times you should let the tenant flush his toilet and it comes up into the bathtub.

I've heard of a beefy tenant breaking up a bathtub, but never heard of one sliding the ol' commode an inch to the side.
