With a 30 year you can always add extra in your flush times to reduce the time of repayment at your option.

Replacing toilets with 1.6 gal (not the cheapest ones, you can get good ones for about $180 that also save you money and still flush properly) low flow shower heads, etc.

Also, the dishwasher will not drain unless you go under the thing and flush the lever by hand.

I've been told you can flush them down the toilet every couple of months and it may help the tank to break down solids.

ThanksTexas has an implied warranty of habitability that appears to mean a rental must be dry, heated, with flushing toilet, etc.

The main sounds we are hearing are their toilets flushing.

We have purchased older, cheaper homes and new construction homes for our buy and hold portfolio and we have been happy with all of them.If you have a goal of having multiple rental properties and you start out buying the more expensive homes then it will take you longer to accumulate as many properties as you'd like, unless you are already flush with cash to go out and buy them all.

If they just moved in and are blatantly breaking the rules they obviously think they can do whatever they want and the lease is just a worthless piece of paper.Think about 4 more people flushing the toilets, walking the carpet, banging the walls, slamming the doors etc.

Generally you cannot add a larger tank to a low flush toilet.

A bit late for me to pitch in, but the only way to do this (don't forget you may have to flush here and there) in cold weather is by wrapping the house and using heaters within the wrapping.
