., replacing a toilet should cost roughly the same in each of those properties.

No tenants no toilets.

I would need someone  consistent in the Charlotte area for small handy man jobs such as leaking faucets, patching holes, minor toilets issues, etc. 

Other investors enjoy inspecting their properties every month or installing toilets themselves.

Most urgently looking to replace a toilet at a rental.Thanks

New code in Florida requires the washer to be in a catch pan in the event of a leak, and that pan has to have a pipe leading to the exterior of the property, extending 12 inches off the exterior wall.

Generally speaking contractors who are not in on the deal don't just go in and give quotes before purchase (they may do 1, but if it does not pan out after 2 or 3 don't expect them to answer your calls ever again).

I'm asking this because I'm getting ready to hire contractors soon as well (I'm about to make my second offer for a distressed property this week, first one didn't pan out, hopefully this next offer is chosen):  How many contractors did you have submit bids?  

I don't have a picture of it but the toilet was cracked and leaking at the base and had a huge turd floating in it.

I'm going to try another place where the seller seems more motivated, and maybe come back to this one if that doesn't pan out.It was very tempting because it is in such darn good shape with well done additions, and so many in my area are not.
