that's just the bathtub, add the washing machine, and the rain gutters.

The worst I have ever had a tenant do, was he stole the coper lines as he was leaving and flooded my basement in the middle of winter.

Its long but it pretty much covers all the "important" stuff discussed:Here are the cliff notes.He notes a pattern of judgments at seven-year intervals stemmed from the shemetah which basically stands for "washing away of things" he went back on historical records on other shemitah years since 1900, here is what he found:1917 - the year US entered into WW1 - austrian, russan and german empires collapsed (a washing away if you will)1931 - another shemitah year - market dropped over 50%1938 - another market crash over 50%, another war started and ended 7 years later on the other shemitah year (a washing away)shemitah in 1973 - bretton woods worldwide monetary system collapsed1980 shemitah - the end of the massive inflationary 1970s (a washing away)1987 shemitah - black monday occured, biggest 1 day percentage drop in the dow.

It's a whole different planet when you pay to water your lawn or wash your car.  

For those interested, it needs the following:Exterior: Paint Shutters & Power Wash all the vinylInterior: Replace Carpet, Paint Walls & Ceiling, Replace switchplates & outlet covers, Paint doors & trimUnpermitted enclosed patio: Relocate Electric Meter to exterior of home.We also put a sign & lockbox on another property which currently has a tenant.  

The contract stated that the closing would take place on or before October 6th, but I requested that they do it within two weeks so I can come back to the states, start getting the place fixed up (it needs power washing of vinyl siding and some trim repair outside, and repaint and replace grotty bedroom carpets with laminate or hardwood to match the gorgeous cherry floors in the kitchen and living room)then head to West Africa for a couple of weeks, then return to the states, finish getting it ready to rent (furnishing it, mostly with craigs’ list stuff except for beds and linens) and put it on the AirBnB market, then head back out of the country again.All in all, I felt ok about the price-I saved around $2,575 by letting it go back to auction and waiting through several rounds.

In the west, I would not be in CALI, look a UT, WASH, NV for cheaper properties where REI is cheaper, and more creative deals can be done.  

yes it was. He

Pressure washing, stucco crack repair if any, primer and 3 coats of paint is what the contractor should give you a bid for.

There are no "iron clad" wholesaling contracts and non-refundable is eye wash, not reality.
