It turned out the guy they subleted to had no idea how to conserve water an just left a hose running in the back garden.

Thanks, I will measure and probably get a braided fill hose as wellFrom looking at Consumers reports and online reviews, Whirlpool and GE are the brands they recommend.I'm thinking of this one, but the only knock is it has a filter and not a grinderhttps://www.lowes.com/pd/Whirlpool-55-Decibel-Built-In-Dishwasher-Monochromatic-Stainless-Steel-Common-24-in-Actual-23-875-in-ENERGY-STAR/50258927

Also make sure your offer has language that says you get security deposits, pet deposits, pet fees, any moneys associated with the tenant leasing the property.I had a seller try to hose me once on pet fees because my offer letter had pet deposit only listed.  

Some will do this in the bathtub; some will take them outside and hose them off.Frankly, for me it's easier to purchase the cheapo Lowes plastic blinds and replace them between tenants.Gail

Then again I don't want to feel hosed by Quiken either. 

I think @Andrew Kerr was spot on here - all of these numbers are highly dependent on the city/neighborhood (A/B/C/D) and the hose (size, age, etc.).

A bit like drinking from a fire hose so it'll take a bit of time to filter all the great info..Mike, I get the limitations of VA and FHA and finding a property that works out in San Diego and agree that tour lengths are a definite factor when you're active duty. 

Forget it, you're hosed...

Although I have seen instances were a seller kept the buyers money and never paid the bank.. and the sub too buyer did not realize this until they got a notice of default.Now in this case with AITD in CA the law allows you to cure and wipe out any seller equity they may have.Sub too is an advanced strategy highly risky for sellers and one that needs to be thought through.. what I see on BP is beginners with little capital to invest or reserves try to do this because of the thought of no money or very little out of pocket and  a loan that is not in their name or fico.so this leads the least knowledgable and experienced investor into what can be a complicated transaction and Frankly a lot of sellers in this model get totally abused and hosed and do not realize the danger they put themselves into until its too late.

Cleveland is fast becoming a poster child for "sucker, out of state/country investors, being hosed by local operators".
