It had become so corroded and consequently gummed up with sludge, that the diameter was no more than 3/4".So, the point of this story is to provide some visual insight into why galvanized pipes are a risk exposure.

Don’t worry, you are not alone but know this, most of what gurus say regarding wholesaling is a bunch of hogwash worth as much as that piece of gum you stepped on in the street.My best advice here, don’t listen to gurus on wholesaling, it’s just a scam to get your money. 

You're going to want to use an oscillating tool with a bimetal cutting blade to get in under the edge of your tile there -- if you used mastic adhesive to do the backsplash, it's going to gum up quickly on the blade and you're going to need a lot of paint thinner/mineral spirits to get that off.

As an investor and residential realtor, I've both done them and help people buy them.Unlike Kansas City or Memphis where you can buy a house for a pack of playing cards and some gum, Salt Lake's market is now a value-market. 

My house is a reno for me, and I have run into a couple issues that put the brakes on things while I figured out a path forward (mastic covering 90% of the floors for example) anyway, its a fun way to make money but it is NOT as easy as tv shows show or gurus say.....  

So February 11, 2020 she paid 1,200$ For February’s rent an the deposit March 10,2020 she paid 200$ March 11 they told her they sold the house an they needed her to move March 12 some random lady brought a eviction notice that was not notarizedMarch 13 another person came an told her she needed to leaveMarch 16 2 more fake eviction notices were left on the door (with gum) March 18 they came an asked when she would be able to pay the rest of the 400$ owedMarch 21 she paid the 400$ even tho it was not due until April 11 & May 11 

These places really do need a power washing because it is littered with gum, dirt, liquid stains and so on and really does make the places look terrible but these landlords will not budge on getting it done but will happily spend a a couple thousand a month on landscapers to trim bushes and cut the grass every week.

In my experience most people don't get into small governmental work just to gum up the process. 

Mirror mastic had asbestos.

Such as tape, mastic, copper fittings, solder, Freon, etc....
