Really sorry to hear about this sour first experience you’ve had, but I hope it becomes a lesson that will contribute to your success with your next endeavor.

I was out there in December and I could not believe the transformation.

Best of luck in all your endeavors 

It's only natural that people who have no business experience, knowledge or capacity to understand what it takes to succeed in any entrepreneurial endeavor, and are not really following a long-time passion of real estate investing, will believe they can do this easily and quickly without any assistance.

Wishing you luck on all your endeavor!

@Jaime ArredondoI don't know much about those markets, but I would suggest a "house hack" as your first endeavor.  

Walk score, ride bike to work.I am with you there.. find these pockets these gems and help transform them.

Best wishes on your endeavors.

Dear George P and all the gang on BPI help you are doing well wherever you are ans whatever your endeavors might be God Bless you all as the end of the year draws nearIn a word George ,grid strainers are great and should work FINE ,,,,As long as you have a CLEAR RUNNING DRAINLINE.If the particular drain is running slow you have what they call a PARTIAL STOPPAGE,,soon to become a FULL STOPPAGE.The simple answer is to have a competent experienced plumber cable out you drain line with a 1/4" to 3/8" cable.In a rental property you should do this as a preventive maintenance every 4 to 6 months.An excellent product to prevent stoppages is BIO CLEAN it is an excellent non toxic dry enzyme product you use once a week last thing at night.You can buy it on amazon dot comHope this helps gangI wish you all a happy Thanksgiving and remember I am here for you all with these crazy plumbing issuesDave Doyle Los Angeles

One of my maxims is that if you wish to learn how to do something, you do not ask someone who does not have success in that specific endeavor, no matter how successful or respected they may otherwise be.
