- Drain pool, cover pool- Run HVAC for 10 minutes, AC/Heat- Leave refrigerator slightly open- Run all water fixtures and flush toilets a few times- Drain and turn off water heater - Have gardener specifically look for rodents intrusion Any and all ideas on additional long-term storage welcome.

My story from last week: tenant texts to say toilet is running and not flushing.

If he has a limited amount of recent customers that's a flag.......If you're really serious about flushing out recent events go to the building department and look up recent permit applications (public record).I should have mentioned this first but the first two questions are 1) are you licensed / whose license # is going to be on the permit. 2) are you insured. 

If you have not been declaring depreciation every year on your rental property you are literally flushing money down the toilet.

Instead of saving every spare dollar, I even decided a nice car was more important, failing to realize the lost opportunities of each dollar being flushed away.This month, I've been frugal by not eating out and cooking more home-cooked meals.

One of the first things being that buy and hold isn't necessarily the best strategy starting out if you're not flush with cash already.

Good point, I wouldn't feel 'good' about sending them the bill, but I think in the long run, if the Resident knows they were flushing something down the toilet or even did flush something down that they had good intentions about, they will be hesitant to flush ANYTHING down other than TP.  

The units I used were designed to install under a standard kitchen counter (24in deep), so the back of the unit was not just a flush panel, there was recesses to account for hoses & drains on the washer, and space to route the dryer vent.My units were not much more than I would have spent for comparable set of units, but I did have to order them.

So no missing kitchen cabinets, sinks work, toilets flush, etc.

If she tries to flush her blanket down the toilet, are you a bad guy for refusing to pay for the plumber?
