Me  That would be my work shop , man cave . 

We are interested in the same area - I walked Pigtown and Ridgley's Delight yesterday.

There was a broken window and the stairs down to the basement caved in (during my inspection), but the seller took care of those issues so I was ok.

You can replace just a tank if the old one has caved in , If its backing up it needs new fields, probably, If you can do fields instead of a mound its cheaper

Don't set the plate form day one that you will "cave" to what the tenant wants/needs/demands... you will regret it.If the rent and deposit is to high from day one, there will be more financial "hardships" that will come up in the future than will result in late rent etc etc.... if she cant afford it now, she wont be able to afford it later...I assume you have some affinity for police officers.... noble profession..... great respect for them doing that job....but in my experience some of them can be complete a-holes and very hard to deal with....they think the badge gives them the ability to bully you into certain things...threats of legal action etc.You are running a business....if the tenant can't meet YOUR needs then move on to the next tenant.....

I get the feeling that my agents are caving before I am...

I studied Economics at the Cave Hill Campus of the University of the West Indies and at LSU in Louisiana. 

We've been using the following Delta showerheads which are all 1.5gpm flows - the first comes both standalone and as part of a complete bath/shower kit - we've installed eight new tub/showers using this kit in the past two years and the tenants are all delighted by the performance ... and surprised when they find out its 1gpm less than a traditional showerhead.http://www.deltafaucet.ca/bath/details/rp54752.htm...http://www.deltafaucet.ca/bath/details/t14438-h2o....http://www.deltafaucet.ca/bath/details/52637-15-pk...http://www.deltafaucet.ca/bath/details/52638-15-pk...http://www.homedepot.com/p/Delta-1-Spray-1-5-gpm-W...

My agent got an email back from the listing agent basically threatening me with the loss of my earnest money if I don't cave in and pay the assessments like a good little boy.

There's a full public discussion on Disqus I had with a large theme developer where they fought me on this, but eventually caved and correctly converted their products to HTML5.
