People have to bathe outside with a garden hose though.

I am doing my best to drink from the hose so to speak, and plan on buying my first investment property before the end of the year.I am simply stunned by the number of houses in my market that were purchased late 2022 or early 2023 and are back on the market at a 40-50% markup.

In this case you’re hosed because the time you lived in it will be rolling off as you are adding more time and you will end up in the same situation as scenario 3.A property which was a rental before it was your primary.

Replace the pipes, (probably rusted galvanized), valves, handles, hoses, faucets, and drains.

I can see the washing machine hoses causing a flood, when tenant removes the ends connected to the spigot rather than the back of the machine :)Are you sure that the washing machine will automatically drain when it fills up with the water from the laundry hoses?

Exterior faucets (hose bibs): Re-seal all around base where attached to the wall, front and back yards3.

There is a recent thread where a couple newbies bout some surplus hoses real cheap, they thought buying cheap meant bigger profits, they later found they were wrong because they didn't understand what they were actually buying, now they wonder what the loss will be.That's what happens when you skip the basics and jump into methods or systems!

. - Indoor sprinkler plans with hydraulic calculations and manufacturer spec data sheets.

Is there a loop hole or something he can use to avoid getting hosed?
