Once you advertise your home as a rental you can legally start writing off: repairs, cleaning supplies, updates and photos.

In addition, there is demand for about 400,000 to 500,000 housing units to replace damaged or lost housing stock.[1] So supply is still broadly behind demand for both 1-family and multi-family units, though the tightness of supply varies across metro areas.

Could be a supply line, a drain line, or perhaps a wax ring on the toilet. 

Your local building supply contractor could advise you on a product. 

The supply pipes seem to be galvanized steel and drain seems to be PVC.

I have even used credit card checks to get funds (they charge 3 - 4% fee for 12 - 18 months of 0% interest) and buy supplies at Lowes and Home Depot when they are running 0% financing promos. 

Two hours and $50 of cleaning supplies could make it look pristine; it just clearly has been neglected.First floor unit has had some cynical 'renovation' work done but is falling apart at the seams.

Your handyman knows what he needs to fix a problem and you have the supplies to fix problem. 

Or use the $1900 to down payment on a cheaper property which you house hack, or use for rehab, or interest to a private lender who supplies the funds.

I’d hate to step into a major unit supply overflow issue causing downward pricing pressure on achievable rents.
