I did a quick mockup of some curb appeal, but I think it's over kill for the neighborhood.It is a "Cute" house on what looks like a nice wide lot, or an empty lot next door (that looks like a jungle of mosquitoes and snakes).A little curb appeal goes a long way on some of these lower end homes, but the neighborhoods tend to be "Worn" and it not worth it. 

However, they have figured out the 'game' that they can buy off many problems rather cheaply, they tested you and you took the bait.This is the same disgusting screw the next guy mentality like 'cash for keys' promoted by low snake in the grass 'investors'. 

I haven’t had the experience (I’ve had 1 backup I covered out of pocket, one failure I also covered and two toilet supply line floods (make sure you’re stainless supply lines are braided and don’t look like snake scales or knights armor.)BUT, I have found more and more insurance companies trying to charge more and more for each thing they are covering.

In less than 2 weeks they managed to back up the plumbing on a Saturday and I have a bill to snake out & clear the line for almost $500.

Don't believe anything you hear and never ever buy a crap course or product at a real estate meeting because the largest real estate clubs are the biggest scumbags when it comes to the presidents of the clubs bringing in snake oil salesmen who scam you out of thousands of dollars.Always believe that whatever crap and 'SECRETS' sold at a real estate club meeting can be found on the internet, absolutely free.

This has to be one of the oddest things I've ever seen.https://www.newsweek.com/angry...

What a thunder taker lol. 

@Dinardo Rodriguez - You've got tons of great feedback above (@Henry Lazerow stole my thunder that Chicago landlords pay water, sewer, garbage).I think you are definitely on the right path, doing the right things, and asking the right questions. 

Our plumber does give us a description of the blockage or issue and we screen this for tenant responsibility- ie superman was snaked out of the toilet, cat litter was dumped out of the now unusable garbage disposal (also interesting in non pet friendly properties) and we will pass that charge on to the tenant with appropriate explanation. 

And if you fail to follow the rules, you could lose the additional protection it provides.beware when the snake handler tries to sell you antivenom.
