This is a major cause of our debt.

Obviously there is some risk in this - cause we don't know who is moving in... but I figure since they are missionaries, I'm okay with it :)

I've seen tons of gimmicks to prevent leaves from getting in the gutters, but these mostly cause more problems.

Their belief there was that renters are scum and are the cause of the world problems and they didn't want any of those scumbag renters in their development.I also studied all the condos almost the entire county and ranged them by the costs of the monthly HOA fees.

We had a HOA president of a small gated community break into a property and cause over $7,000 worth of damage after the occupants had left the property.

I heard a leak and after some detective work and cutting open the back of my kitchen cabinet I finally have located a few pin holes at the bottom of a kitchen copper drain line.These pin holes unfortunately are impossible to patch in that the cause is corrosion and is almost always caused by tenants or previous owners sending hazardous chemicals like Draino down the line and those chemical sat at the bottom and ate at the line and eventually you get holes.

I added the video here, cause people should watch this thing!

You teach people how to treat you, and in this case, you are teaching your tenant that she can claim "accident" and you will fall for her sob story and assume because she is Section 8, she can't pay for the repair (a not always true assumption, I might add).I assume you have a lease, and that it states repairs caused by tenants are their responsibility.

Your inexperience may be showing through and causing the real estate agent not to have confidence in you.

Your pipes could freeze solid and expand at night when the temperature goes down to 27 causing the copper to split.
