The orange big box store sells a brand new water saving toilet for $30. 1.28 gal per flush.

Post 2009, lessons were learned to a large extent and poor quality buyers and mortgages were flushed out.

The lease doesn’t specify what specific items shouldn’t be flushed.

Also, there are SO MANY real estate agents in Rapid City; only 6 houses sell for every agent in the business (2,265 houses sold, about 375 agents).What I learned on my visit to Sioux Falls was that the growth occurring there has a more diverse base, not just retirees flush with cash.

Previous tenant let the toilet flush run 24/7 for 2 months and I got a $1000 bill. 

Banks are flush with cash and have no incentive to pay higher interest on deposits.The Fed is ending QE in March and beginning QT in May.

But I will shut off the main water valve in the basement if I am not going to be showing for a few days, then turn it back on when I do the next showing (to prevent an "aw crap" water leak when nobody's there).You need electricity to have lighting for evening showings IMO, and lots of people want to look after work, hence the evening showings.And every now and then some prospect will turn on a faucet or flush a toilet, but most don't bother (surprisingly maybe, but I've learned that is the norm).

and as you know in IN its a mortgage state so foreclosures take some time to flush through the system .. not like GA were they can start and be done in 90 days.What I was struck with was houses that were vacant for more than a year and they looked the same as the day the folks left.. nothing missing no vandalism no theft of mechanicals etc. as we know in the big cities ALL big cities in the D and C class and much into B class a vacant home left for a year will generally be stripped... and many times trashed by vandals and vagrants.

The losses took two years of running a profitable business and flushed them down the toilet. 

This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.
