However, it can take longer if the faucet is wall-mounted or if there are other challenges.

@Jaron Walling I appreciate the response!

Second, most tenants are lucky they can dress themselves in the morning, much less paint walls without destroying the floors, ceiling and trimwork.

A lot of wholesalers are new and looking for the low hanging fruit.

But occasionally we have issues and tenants need to be asked to leave or just decide to disappear in the middle of winter and it sucks.The worst part is I find the quality of tenant interested or willing to move this time of year isn't the greatest either - often times there is a reason they have to move right now since most landlords don't like ending leases this time of year.Either lower your rent or just hang in there.

It WILL always be like smashing through a wall with your head as fists as the hammer, you will "get bloody", it will hurt, it will exhaust you, it will test you to your breaking point and beyond.

I'd personally say pulling your water heater out and replacing with a wall mount on demand one, would be worth the cost to have in unit washer dryer if you are staying there or renting it, it would be worth it.its always worth doing the big stuff well and correct even if you are cleaning up after someone, the long term hold always prevails, its just a little frustrating front sometimes, but hang in there!

We have been in real estate (long-term rentals) for over 20 years now and looking forward to hanging up the maintenance hat.

@Kevin G. go hang out at your local Home Depot between 6-9am on a Saturday.They contractors there at that time are the hard-working ones.Then, you just have to figure out how to screen them so you don't get ripped off.- First Rule: you buy the materials, so they don't need 50% down!
