If it is the bathroom, I'd start by pulling the toilet to see if you have any problems there. 

(Now that is a financial goal on another planet from replacing your working income and retiring to plunge toilets for a bunch of Class C people who've never held a job in their life)

Hopefully that person pans out.Quick question.

In either case, you can't work on the property as it must be a passive investment (e.g. you must hire someone to fix the toilet and can't pay the expense with non-retirement funds).7.

On another note your “numbers analysis” may not pan out when you take into account repairs needed as revealed by inspection reports; and this may be the reason you don’t move forward without further seller concessions.

Somebody, likely a long term tenant in the building, is using excessive water or won't fix their toilet flappers.

Hey BP community,I recently purchased a SFR property in the Piedmont Triad area of North Carolina where I plan to replace the first-floor chimney with a bathroom (toilet, sink, vanity, stand-up shower).

It doesn’t always pan out as a viable option but I always recommend considering this so you know your alternatives.

I would highly recommend passive investing which will allow the experts to take the risk and acquire the debt and manage the toilets, tenants and trash.

If you’re in a situation where you’re getting numerous showings, how do you keep those initial offers interested just in case the later offers don’t pan out.
