When the plumber removed the cleanout cap, water started coming out.

We plan to buy a second house as well.

I have a tenant in my Rosewood rental who is saying that the water in the shower is coming out cold even after she lets it run for a bit.

At that time I will get the house cleaned up and list it on the market and when it sells I've agreed to get reimbursed my costs for reinstatement plus any other costs plus a fee for my efforts.

Who bought the lot in front of their house for $20,000?

Be mindful of a gift tax implications if you sell a house for less than FMV.Also be mindful of transactions between related parties when selling at a loss.

I don't think Danbury is a big house hack market, but I could be wrong.

@Tony SchmuckerFrom my experience of working with over 400 investors, your strategy to relocate, house hack, and transition properties to management is a strong, methodical approach.

That meant trudging through knee-deep snow in freezing temperatures, spending hours shutting off water lines and draining pipes—on a house I wasn’t even keeping.To make matters worse, it was a four-hour round trip.

House hacking is a great beginning step in investing.
