I have been informed by a tenant that the ceiling was dripping water last night (after a long rain) so i suspect that I have a roof leak.

Some of them you may have seen on tv...My chemistry career is in the field of alternative energy research, mainly the production of hydrogen fuel from sunlight and water.

Everything is new and they are large apartments as I am sure you can tell by the SQ/ft listed.There is public water and sewer and 4 NEW 100amp services.

We found a "cenote" which is basically a sink hole of water.

My house, it has been down for 3 years with hard use and the rental is just one year, but no damage so far.If the room is an unusual shape, lay paper on the floor and cut a pattern.

Bathroom, I would make sure it's tile and not vinyl and have shower doors instead of shower curtains, this way you don't have to worry about water damage to your subfloor in the future.

yes i am referring to putting a house under a L/o contract and then assigning to an investor...or even putting the house under dual l/o and then still assigning. the point of it is that while i don't mind the work, putting it under contract and finding sellers and buyers i can't deal with even a partial month of non rent payers or other problems. i know as a l/o the t/b usually takes care of minor maint. etc and the real owner usually has the burden of the huge "the water heater blew up" kind of repairs but i am more afraid of no rent and me still needing to pay. i was wondering how much a sellers l/o would be assigned for and then how much a dual (seller and t/b already signed/moved in) l/o would be as far as my profits. also with a t/b how much do they usually put down as a down payment?

But, we can't find any evidence of water leaking from the roof.

In most eviction processes, tenant leave a lot of mess/damages which can take up a lot of money and time.

I guess it would depend on how much equity you got in the deal, as very generally speaking every year you hold the property you are watering down your ROI a bit if you got immediate equity at close.
