I have seen this before.Sewer lines under the road run down hill.10 houses away something blocked the main sewer line under the road.All of the houses flushing and drains behind the blockage filled the line.

We were originally considering Zelle, Venmo ect due to the fact that we only have one unit for rent but don't want to allow partial payments in the instance that things went downhill. 

Cheapest solution might be to leave it in place and fill the downhill side with soil sloped at 3:1 (that is 5 ft tall wall would extend 15 feet from the toe of the wall if the catch slope is flat).

It was fine to live there, but when I had to move away for work, the area went downhill.

With a downhill slope you have the potential to build a walk-out basement.

I can reinvest the cash flow, compounded, and make a lot more profit than waiting for the appreciation to catch up to the negative cash flow losses.This situation is like a ladder going downhill. 

The neighborhood where my cute little house is is going downhill and it looks like it's getting worse.

The schools are going down hill fast too.That rental is on my short list to cull.

In fact, we would argue that things are on the way downhill here.  

I don't know if the areas that went downhill during the recession will really turn back around or will continue to decline.
