You need a closing agent that understands the proper way to do them. 

I get a hold of this girl upstairs and sternly explain that she absolutely can not allow water to go all over the place and how she has now caused damage downstairs. ...All bathtubs I have ever seen that were properly plumbed have an overflow, behind the shiny plate or lever near the top of the tub, which directs into the drain any water trying to get above that level.

But, presumably people will be around this so you really should have this properly designed.Just another way to look at this... 

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+, zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680, some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Hi Anna,More than happy to assist in educating you on the proper way how to attack your first-ever flip.

For newly constructed, purchased or renovated properties and also retroactive generally over the last 10 years, building components are properly classified into individual units of property and accurate recovery periods for computing depreciation deductions.

All I really want is someone who will help me draft the compliant OA and ensure other items are set properly.

Things like accessibility, entertainment, lifestyle, surrounding road/property conditions make the southern part of the island low on my list.

I'm wondering if it is proper etiquette to contact the listing agent for a property and just make a verbal offer to see if the seller would be interested in my price?
