Go over and see if you can put liquid plumber or something in it to clear it....take a snake and plunger just in case.

I’m wondering if $23k of my own liquidated funds is reasonable to start looking for an investment property?

I've only been to Texas a few times but it quickly became one of my favorite places in the US. 

I just can't imagine why you would liquidate your successful, growing real estate holdings to send your money off to something that is super risky and doesn't pay that well over the long term.

E government won’t use its ne found power to invalidate contracts to reward a bigger group of voters at the expense of a smaller group?

As lenders, well issue a prequal/preapproval letter if we've analyzed your income, assets (bank and brokerage statements to establish that you have the liquidity to afford the down payment, closing costs, and reserves), review credit of the guarantors, review the relevant experience to ensure that we're not throwing our money away on newbies that are wandering around in the dark, and have put together a reasonable plan of attack for the project.
