Because people will pay $5.25.I understand that, but assuming a cup of coffee is not gonna drain your pocket and a million dollars will, im not sure that is a likely scenario for 99.9% of investors out there.

You cannot buy a property and leave it vacant most of the year without it being a drain on your income and exposing yourself to some serious dangers.You cannot just leave the property vacant and not expect bad things to happen. 

Drain Maintenance -  Any time the truck or the bikes get super muddy they go to the coinop carwash for a rinse - I'd rather leave the muddy mess at the carwash instead of in front of my house - I imagine those drains have to be cleared out fairly often.Winter:  Looks like you're in TX, so might not be as big of an issue for you, but during winter here in UT those hoses are constantly running to avoid freezing.

You would also still have a fuse box, unless it has been replaced with a breaker panel.On the plumbing side, your main drain lines and stack are likely cast iron and would be 70-75% through their serviceable life.  

SFHs can be a real drain unless you are already financially well off.

There are also signs of a cover up at the base of the foundation because there are new concrete blocks there to hide the foundation and a temporary drain placed nearby to prevent water from reaching the foundation.

There is a gap around the main drain exit and this area is completely under water.

Have over $60k in the rehab and it still isn't complete (needs flooring/trim/paint) and I've sold carrying a note near break even to stop and reverse the cash drain and defer any tax issues until after I retire.

Installing a French Drain around the affected perimeter has worked wonders in my experience especially where run off from a hill is involved.

well I think you answered your own questions. pretty muchplumber for plumbing issues.. you might want a electrician to do a quick walk through of your panel and check each receptacle make sure he did not switch wires..when they really want to be bad they will put concrete down your drain lines.. so if he did not do that .. then your good there.. but you may want to snake your lines anyway just so you know there in good condition.As for the haul off.. what I would personally do.. is go rent a small u haul go to the home depot parking lot or where ever your day laborers hang out grab two of them and have them haul the stuff to the u haul then go to the dump and have them empty the uhaul pay them and take them back to home depo parking lot.. also have plenty of water for them or Gatorade and maybe a sandwich.. that's how I would handle that.
