I wish there were a way we could root that ugly element out.

We also make it clear when we do so, that moving forward it will be tenant charge unless the plumber reports tree roots or something clearly beyond tenant control.4) Also during move-in inspection, particularly if the tenant is new to living on their own, I would review operation of certain basic elements to ensure they DO know how to use them.

I have roots in Augusta, although growing up, my family spent time split between NC and VA during my father's military career. 

We continue sending grass roots style letters.

It seems you genuinely had the question re occupancy, which I think you've had pretty well answered...along with maybe some lecturing and soap box'ing that could have been left out of the discussion. 

Some if my favorite plays (after some 1,800 deals since 1978) are still rooted around properties with low balance first mortgages in default.

This will lead to core deep rooted disputes that will lead to you guys parting ways.

I could make 25 to 40 dollars after school in late 60s selling brush's and soap door to door..

@Kyler CookYou’re right, I make a better fisherman than a soap box preacher.

I don't live there anymore, but roots run deep and I've always watched, so I'd be interested to hear perspective on it.
