Notify the PM that the tenant should be held liable for the bathtub repair and/or replacement, as well as any damage directly tied to water leaking from the tub.3.

@Jim ThomasWho would let you tie up their property for 30 days due diligence period ?

I don't know all the facts but if you are looking for financial growth and a stronger return on investment, I would use the cash on hand to purchase another investment (or more).

@Calvin Rankin if it was unpaid property taxes, it would be tied to the deed and that could block a sale. 

I’m a little tied up with another deal at the moment but my partner and I are always on the lookout for new opportunities!

Having your hands tied with not being able to self-managing someone cost effectively might tip the scale to #3.#1 - if what you wrote was true, you may be able to utilize much of the existing duct work. 

This is often a bit easier, not only for a newbie, but for experienced investors as well since it allows them to spread their capital to multiple projects at a time vs. tying up all their capital into one project.

We had private money but its tied up now.  

I'll be speaking with them soon to understand the financials and confirm their goals with the sale...which previously was to get rid of the property and any ties to each other.As time has passed, their stance on solutions that they would accept to help solve their problem potentially has changed.
