Great question @Robert Rixer.I never got to the point where I had to make that call, but at the end of the day, I'm not willing to go down with a sinking ship.

The sinks and faucets didn't, but the tubs and toilets did. 🤔 After having the plumber come back a couple of times to try to remediate, we brought in a different plumber that provided 2 other possible remediation things we could try.

It sounds to me like your Austin home is a "Sell" candidate - while it could appreciate over the long-term, you might be sinking cash into it for many more years in order to realize that appreciation.

Let that sink in.

I mean you technically require a permit to replace an outlet or sink faucet hahaha

The problem is the foundation is sinking, the outdated polybutylene pipe is leaking in the crawl space and the electrical is outdated.

What the city housing clerk is telling me is that there was a water leak from behind the sink pedestal on the second floor bathroom that has been running for a week. 

Both screen doors upstairs do not function correctly.Plumbing problems-The garbage disposal in the kitchen was not cleaned, is smelly and the rubber is flipped outwards.The bathroom sink in the smaller bedroom does not drain correctly despite us using an entire bottle of drain cleaner on it.Common areas that are not kept clean or have garbage-There was no attempt to clear the patio of years of accumulated debris and filth.

At this point, I'm not willing to sink the funds for a paid CRM service but may be open to it in the future.

This site plan would give you an idea of the needed development cost, which is usually what sinks development deals
