Vinegar and water or soap and water.

It’s taken me a long time to get here and I don’t want to mess this up.I realize I have a lot of goals here that don’t seem to intertwine, and are a little all over the place.Any advice you can give me on a course of action or recommended places where I could put down roots would be much appreciated as I don’t have someone to bounce these ideas off of.

(he/she may be stating a code that doesn't apply to this house due to age etc) and I would ask for both of those...... then your only option is to fix it or lock it up, so no one but you has access to that area.While codes can be a PITA from a $$ aspect, they are often rooted in a real safety concerns, so factor that into your decision.

If the city looks like it's doing a lot to promote business and growth, that's a very good sign.Step four, once you've rooted out the cities that don't have strong local governments, find the local newspaper websites and poke around.When you've narrowed your list to one or two great markets, call brokers, property managers, and local bankers and tell them you're interested in their market and will be visiting shortly.

  :)    Gives me a heads up on routine stuff like roots, obstructions, etc, to clear.... or that I will need to dig the whole thing up because its crushed or built out of tar paper (look up "orangeburg pipe", it was a thing back in the 60s!) 

I am not a New Yorker, but have family roots there.  

I had children and needed to grown thicker roots for a bit, so took a hiatus.

If the camera shows roots or something bad , replace it before there is a problem , have them add a clean out right where it exits the house and every 40 ft there after . 

With the low flow washers you have to educate your tenants to use way less soap or you will end up with a mess on your hands.

We are both originally from NYC and have roots here so I'm pretty sure I can relearn the area(we have been gone for 10+ years) with the help of local friends and family.
