Those are almost never a good idea.Pouring a pot of hot water down a kitchen drain every week or two does wonders for keeping them unclogged.

Purchase price: $230,000 Cash invested: $1 Sale price: $340,000 This home is up on the east bench in Ogden, UT and had so much potential in it when we found it.

I stayed recently in a large daylight basement with a bedroom/bathroom and a bar sink with a coffee pot and a microwave.

@Uju Anyanwu I accepted a tenant with a drug possession (not pot) charge, dismissing it as something that happened years ago and now the tenant is a good citizen, but then (you guessed it) they got arrested again a few months into the 12-month lease they signed with me. 

You could even sweeten the pot and pay them a couple thousand more to do the work.If the work is done prior to closing, this allows you to buy the home on a 3.5% FHA loan, but not have to deal with the extra paperwork and the longer turn time to close the loan that an FHA203K requires. 

- duplex/investment: 150k asking, 2x800 pot rent - 7 offers in 2 days.

TTax allows multiple returns.I'm headed to the bench now as you've exceeded my risk tolerance and street knowledge since I would rather pull out my eyebrows than co-own real property with a unrelated party without a multi member LLC or a partnership with a CPA and attorney already in tow... 

Property also includes a two car garage with workspace/bench with an additional oil furnace bringing the opportunity for additional rental space.

And it’s a low car, a lot of pot holes.
