And God willing, your deal will pan out for you.

Here is an example: I pulled up on realtor.com 1517 Pacific St, Bakersfield its listed for $45,900 its a 3/2 1300 sqft with a detached garage.

If water heaters are located where a leak will cause damage, it's a good idea to unstall them within a pan, with a drain pipe attached to pan bottom amd run to a drain or outside.

. :-) The Pacific Northwest and fireplaces are a natural fit.

  " i feel like looking for that next deal is like panning for gold".

Out here in Pacific Palisades I estimate the occupancy rate is about 5% - 10%.

I'll also be following up on several leads that haven't panned out in the past including an abandoned, overgrown property in my farm neighborhood and two rentals from a tired landlord that works with a friend of my wife.

KBR shower pans makes pre made shower pans any size, drain location and other options.

If you want to save money, reach up into the pan (if accessible) and remove the gunk. 

Quit smoking, get a blue-tooth headset, forget the pan and roller and go buy a descent airless sprayer.
