It sits above the washer, and I (Choose to) open the valve (Pull the lever) when I want to wash clothes, and push the lever closed when I am not using the washer.

We take 2 weeks to do the touchups, change broken blinds fix anything needed and then a through cleaning and carpet wash before the new ones move in.

@Robert Williams thanks, are you in the DC area or Wash state?

When I first started out - I did not have gurus to learn from or anybody to teach me and so as a result I didn't even know what I didn't know - but through using basic math skills - and watching the market for deals - I was able to get into my first multi-family - and after that I basically rinsed/ washed / and repeated to get similar results.

He even showed us a slide of him standing next to his Lamborghini while he was washing it.

However, if you are in 2nd or 3rd it seems you could be washed out if the deal goes bad.

Rinse wash repeat.

, but I was raised by a CPA/CFP and was brain washed from a young age that all debt is bad, so my real estate investing is stretching me a little....I need a good stretch :)I think it's all about how debt aversive you are....a middle-of-the-road idea is to pay a bit extra on the mortgage each month and save the rest of the cash flow.  

After all expenses and misc cost its pretty much a wash.

Was he upfront about the problem or did you find out when youchecked his credit?
