But I believe that the underlying reasoning is to not overextend yourself by removing a safety net.

With the direct model, I always ended up with leftover funds that weren't invested at all.

It would also give me a "safety net" in case my real estate ventures fail.

Even if it is up to code and you're concerned about safety or liability, just replace it.

I feel like i'm in trial-mode, experimenting to see what will work.

Plans run out 20 years and we are now looking to 2030/40.Such redevelopment begins by looking at the highest and best use, zoning, growth corridors, traffic and modes of transportation expected, population and social demands, infrastructure and services.Residential properties that are in decline or in distress are prime targets of redevelopment.

If you acquired all cash you would earn a higher return but if it's not possible to go in with no debt then the deal deserves extra scrutiny because your margin of safety would be thinner.

I pride myself on offering the best customer service and knowledge to my clients and I feel as if this could be a great resource for me to learn more about the investing side.My business model is to accumulate multi-family residences in Philadelphia and the surrounding counties and manage them myself until I find that hiring a property manager as leverage is my best bet.

Maybe wrapping some insulation around the pump/lines (check with the installer for safety) might help.
