Tub was cracked due to not being supported. 2) No access panel required by code for the pump, the pump was in the rear of the tub buried under the tub deck. 3) No thermostatic anti-scaled mixing valve required by code for the roman tub filler 4) No dedicated circuit for the pump required by the manufacturer, the electrical for the tub was piggy backed on the vanity lights 5) no GFCI protection on the tub as required by code  6) no grounding of the tub motor as required by code 7) ABS drain glued to PVC drain pipe with ABS glue 8) the tub valve connections  uried with no access were IPS threaded stainless steel flexible water lines instead of hard sweated copper connections, (lost count on all the shark bites they used, they must buy them in bulk) 9) all the tile was tiled directly on the plywood of the tub deck, no underlayment to prevent the tile from being popped and the grout cracking from moisture getting to the plywood...the list goes on and on.. oh and the tub filler valve was located on the back side of the tub, not a code violation but certainly not user friendly for somebody to have to climb basically into the tub or over it to turn the water on, but that's minor in the scope of all the code violations and poor workmanship, that's just poor design. 

Tenants know that they can skip paying the rent for months with little risk of being evicted; the incentive to pay the rent in California (and places with similar anti-landlord legislation) is very weak.

@Stan Hrincevich I've seen your anti-HOA posts previously and frequently it seems your argument is more with the PM than the HOA itself.

How anti- climatic !

If the press gets hold of a story that spins you as anti veterans, you will have a hard time doing business there.

Buyer isn't FHA in this case so anti-flipping shouldn't be a problem on that end.  

Rod,, As for anti wholesaling being a commie plot of the RE brokers can't agree with that one..

Could be good advice, but there's a lot more to consider when making such a decision, obviously.So is this anti-real estate mentality a result of lack of understanding, or seeing other clients' lack of success in REI?

If it was me personally, I would go the same route as @Walker Seid however I am very anti-401k's so my opinion may be biased!

Incidentally;  a substantial part of my anti pet stance is that I ate, hate, HATE the smell of dog and cat poop and pee.
