If my properties are continually draining their own reserves over a long period of time, then, eventually, I will end up with no cash reserves and will have to think about working a w2 once again just to pay for expenses and keep the properties afloat.At least, potentially, until the time comes when the properties are paid off (~25 years into the future) and I receive an instant boost in cash flow, around $200-$300 per property.

In my optimistic mind, I am thinking this may not be more than pumping out the water, fixing the floor drains, dehumidifying and painting...am I way off on this one?  

One tub has a rust spot at the drain and needs to be reglazed.

My wife has a Mustang that has sat so long in the garage, I've put 2 brand new batteries in it and both have gone dead from the alarm draining them.

Many people sleep on their sides to mimic the fetal position but the problem is you toss and turn because pressure is put on the shoulder.With a motorized bed you can elevate the legs which takes pressure off of the spine and back and with the upper body elevation you keep reflux from happening from the stomach into the throat which also helps the sinuses drain properly instead of pool and swell the turbinates at night causing congestion and difficulty breathing.The zero gravity position from a motorized bed mimics the fetal position but opens up the lungs for better breathing and keeps the acid down in the stomach plus since you are not on your side the pressure is not on the shoulders.When you first try it there is some getting used to as your body has been out of whack for so long.    

If you have an energy recovery system (air exchange system), remember that these filters also need to be cleaned or replaced.Inspect, clean or replace kitchen vent hood filters (non-charcoal filters).Flush all toilets and run water through all sinks, especially in bathrooms that are not used on a regular basis.On a quarterly basis:Check the exterior drainage conditions to ensure that nothing is causing water to stand in puddles for more than 24 hours and that water from any source is not draining toward your foundation.Check your GFCIs (ground fault circuit interrupters) for proper operations by tripping the circuit interrupter buttons and then resetting them.

I had all the supply lines and one drain replaced in a 3 bed, 1 bath/side duplex with w/d hookups for under $2000.

Cash sale to the highest bidder from the outcry of the lenders attorney.You have to find out if it worthless swampland, a storm drain, a first lien, second, or  a nice house with clear bidding on the first.  

There was a backup that cause the water to drain slower than usual and the toilet started gurgling and water started accumulating in the shower tub as well.

In this time I learned to hang Sheetrock, install and finish floors, take out a load-bearing wall, install copper, pex, and drain plumbing, wire a house, install a electrical panel, and every other possible task in between, and my father and I did all the work ourselves.
