and prices here are nuts.

Hey @Michael Ellis - I have experience with neither but can tell you that this form is probably not going to yield the most fruitful result. 

The difference in rent is about $300 with the lower rent being in the less expensive home that has not increased a lot in price, the other was almost double the price and has more than doubled in price (that market is nuts)...so I get a less rent relative to the price of the home, but the increase in the value of the home more than makes up for it.

My employees wash their vehicles and muddy equipment every day and they put a massive amount of rocks, nuts and bolts, wood and all sorts of debris into the pump and it never failed one time.Since my pump handles both rain water and the water my employees use to wash their equipment every day I installed a specially made system with electronic valves that makes the water they wash their equipment go into a sediment and filter box and then into the city sewer system and when it rains the electronic valves have a sensor that detects water coming from the roof drain downspouts and valves switch to make the water from the parking lot go into the street.

Some very big money is dictating the current reality, and they are deploying like nuts.

You think the end of the world people are nuts, talk to a climate emergency freak. 

I purchased another property in the Palm Springs area that I converted into an STR which is also cash flowing.Yes, there are absolutely cash=flowing properties out there but they are not low-hanging fruit. 

If none of this bears fruit and you don't care to spend $60,000 you can get a septic system put in for around $6500.

Quote from @Kimberly Porter: It is $450,000 Then 40k is nuts. 1% is standard which would be 4500. 

Cheers to new beginnings and fruitful investments!
