Maytag and Whirlpool are good imo.I personally also avoid ice makers and water dispensers.

From what I've seen, the days of the $1,000 and $2,500 deductibles for fire, lightening, water damage (not flood), etc. are becoming harder and harder to find. 

If you think there a leak have all tenants not use any water and find the water meter outside.

This is calculated after accounting for all expenses, including taxes, insurance, utilities (water, sewer, garbage, electric, gas), and an allowance for maintenance costs (typically 5% of gross rent, adjustable based on the building's condition), as well as management fees.I invest in the Binghamton, NY area both as an investor and as a realtor.

Instead, shut off the water to the toilet and place a sign on the door "Art exhibit: Non-functioning bathroom."

We bought a home built in 1900, insurance water damage coverage is 10% of the dwelling limit. 

I'm sure most of us don't say our rentals come with a furnace and hot water tank, but they do and they are not to be removed.

The problem is the waters are muddied when a negative occurs with the investment that is in no way the result of dishonesty or incompetence; it’s merely the revealing of the probability of an outcome that has been properly disclosed as a possibility - yet the unsophisticated investor begins crying Ponzi scheme, theft, incompetence and every other accusation they can think of rather than considering the possibility that they made an investor with higher risk than a money market fund.

The pool needs a new liner, and I do not know if the pumps work because there is no water in the pool.
