Looking for distressed SFR in the sub-200k ARV range for now (don't want to bite off more than I can chew out of the gate.)Alternately, if you are a seasoned investor looking to eschew the lower-end flips you come across so you can move up into higher priced projects, or if you want to semi-retire and would like to help mentor someone new, I'd love to work as an apprentice or mentee if you're willing to let me do some hands-on training.

They are usually available in big box plumbing departments or certainly online.When a spill of water reaches a floor, it (the water) completes the connection for the switch (which is connected to a valve) thereby shutting off a home's water supply.In that case you have an inconvenienced tenant calling because they don't have water versus the alternative that you've experienced.I don't think that they are too expensive but may need to be installed by a plumber.Just my 2-cents worth.Travis

We have 24 lenders in the house and we are a bank ourselves  with conventional loans, also portfolio, new construction, renovation for both owner occupied and investment, foreign nationals purchasing in US, jumbo, non-agency (alternative income), FHA, VA, USDA, commercial 5-75 units, basically I am a one stop for all :-)

Alternately you simply wait till the lease is up and do not renew.
