Hi all, For a rental home, tenant says bathroom floor keep getting wet, even though it is small amount. at first, they thought they dropped some water. after wiping water, however, it keep coming back and now they think there is some water leak. my plumber went to check and found no issue with bath sink. he thinks it must be shower leak. the shower was redone last year by a contractor, who i ended up firing since he did not show up to work later. anyway, i hired water damage restoration (Servpro) company to check how much damage there is now. unfortunately, based on my research, it is very hard to find source of shower leak. i am thinking of rebuilding shower. i hired a kitchen remodel contractor and he gave me two options; either fix shower pan only, or (optionally) rebuild shower as well. 

Sounds like a great start. 

George Washington acquired a significant amount of land this way, and shortly after acquiring such created SYNDICATIONS (he later used JOINT STOCK COMPANIES when they came into existence) to raise the capital needed for development.  

I noticed other companies charge the owner a fee like a $100 admin fee or something if we take over a property with a tenant the owner put in place and then have to evict them after a month to two later.

Although I am starting to see those slowly go away. 

I'm starting my real estate investment journey in the U.S.
