I still have yet to cut my teeth on filling a vacancy, but hey that is a good thing, I think it means I picked a good property.Looking forward to learning from you all,Mike

Based on the stream of questions around the topic from you, perhaps this is not the deal to cut your teeth on trying to learn about paper.

I have to, so I just grit my teeth and make the best of the situation.

If in between point A and B there is a branched fitting, like a WYE or a TEE, the liner would span across and block that branch, and they have to come from the branch and cut a hole back through the main.

Requiring licenses in each aspect of financial dealings will eliminate those without a clue doing business, except in commercial where borrowers should know better, it dictates responsibility and puts in place a system with teeth.

So there will be some that will lie through their teeth in hopes that they won't have to pay.

@Christopher Meaker I would imagine that in your area there are much easier and straight forward deals to cut your teeth on.Perhaps start with a couple 2-4 residential income units and move up from there?

I was an investor a long time before I became a realtor, and I grind my teeth every time I pay my dues. 

Trying to track down an ex tenant to recoup unpaid bills is like pulling teeth.  

Since you are fully aware of the lease situation BEFORE you close the deal, you need to grit your teeth and accept the leases as they are.
