The commute will drain your life-force.

Otherwise if you borrow too much or withdraw too much the earnings on the remaining cash value may not be enough to cover the "costs," which then causes the cash value to decrease because costs exceed earnings till the cash value is completely drained and the policy may lapse (cancel/expire).

Sometimes professionals will do this and add interior drain tile that wicks any water from the wall.- Settling so the property is lower at certain points.

If they go down the drain the whole thing is probably a train wreck. 

@Timothee Brzozowski ah if that’s the case and addressing the vent filter/ hood etc. doesn’t solve it for you then you may also have a bunch of grease clogged up in the disposer/drain that’s stinky and wafting back up into the unit.

It does not take much to give off odor.I had a unit that had a wet dog smell, I did a complete remodel and still had the odor I found a big hair ball under the fridge.Paint the subfloor with KilzCaulk trim (hair can get between wall and baseboard)Vacuum registers and cold air return ducts and change filterOpen windows for a few days can helpPaint or wash all surfacesIf unit has been vacant drain traps may be empty allowing sewer gas backup

Maybe that's enough, but you may really need to put in a french drain to keep the water away.

It was just draining in the back yard before.

repurposed old buildings can be a real long term cap ex drain.. so caution.. unless your buying in San Francisco or some other VERY expensive market that those are the norm.. most of these types of buildings sell for far less than replacement costs and there is a reason for that.
