I assume there is a gauge on the tank showing the level.

I had worked tons of overtime at my federal security job in order to pay it off as there was quite some pressure from the investors to get back their capital.

When it comes to painting exterior, you're looking for someone to pressure wash, prep the exterior (taping), caulk and seal where necessary in small cracks, around windows etc, prime and then pain with 2-3 coats.

When the bank appraises the property the value may be lower and the TK provider will pressure the investor to put more cash in the deal.

I've heard of, but not tried, adding some food coloring to the water in the tank to do the same thing.Sometimes on a new-build house, or one where they've done lots of plumbing work, a plumber will pressurize the lines with air, from a compressor, to check for leaks. 

@August Olgren - a sale deadline is a pretty common sales strategy based on psychological pressures. 

There’s always risk in everything so gauge your risk appetite then proceed.Good luck. 

So the tenant is demanding this, the PM is pressuring me to abide by the request.The listing agent is telling me that no lawyer is going to take this case and I should be closing on the property in 30 days, and then it will be over with.

But since I was, and am still so new to this I’m not entirely sure how to gauge whether I got a good shake.

Those questions should be a good starting point for you to gauge the knowledge and experience of any agent you interview.
