Some deep rooted issues there sir.

I have both an individual lease and the section 8 lease as she signed the first one before we had the house inspected.Ill keep you all posted on this drama as it unfolds (I think thats the root of it...she loves drama!

you know what you have now and it's good - so hold onto it....i.e. don't fix it if it ain't broken.however, at the root of any investment plan is the old adage - buy low sell high.it looks like you've done this and have a lot of money to play with...what about refinancing the current and using that money to make a similiar investment?

I have added a clause that states all clogs are responsibility of tenants UNLESS a plumber can attest to the fact that the clog was caused by roots, bad pipe or something not directly caused by tenants...I actually have multiple snakes and use to snake myself but just don't have the time anymore..thx,Chris

That MAY be a sign of root infiltration into the pipes, which is not uncommon.  

For example, my first purchase in my new area had cracks in the pipe with tree roots going into it.

I figured while I'm waiting to get a root canal I could make some use of the time to ask a question.

I am not a native but I have family roots in the city and am greatly looking forward to connecting with other investors as I make my home in east Tennessee.

It could take months to get them out of your property using legal methods.If this was an established tenant, with a solid on-time payment history, have a one-on-one chat with them and get to the root of their problem.

Hi @Gaege Root, At this moment I would like to get into buy and hold properties.
