For me repairs are lock changes, interior paint, clogged toilets, appliance repairs, etc.

My opinion is judgments are like toilet paper but they do 2 things stop people from borrowing money from a conventional source at a low interest rate.

We are a major market and have some needs that may diverge from homeowners in terms of getting the work done fast (to reduce vacancy and/or boost tenant satisfaction) and are often looking for more durable work (as opposed to dream home finishes) to harden rentals...Remember the average landlord with 5 rentals has 5 roofs, probably a half dozen or more toilets, 5 washers/dryers/stoves/hot water heaters, and thousands of feet of flooring walls (interior/exterior), dozens of windows, etc... like the homeowner many times over... tons of wear points and moving parts...

Nothing has panned out yet so we were hoping to speed up the process.

On a couple of houses that I've had there were (IIRC) 4" X 12 with 1" X 6" laid diagonally over those.On one of those I had bad 1" X 6" but everything above those was good because we had replaced them a few years before when we replaced a leaking shower pan.

I had a property that was 2.5 hours away and those calls for a blown fuse or stopped up toilet on the weekend are brutal.

I've put a couple offers in on some properties but nothing has panned out yet.

The other beauty of it is that I build high quality construction, 2 x 6 exterior walls with blown in foam, 5/8's decking, architectural shingles, upgraded fixtures, expensive toilets that never clog, low-maintenance exteriors, etc.

Nothing else is backed up, and flushing the adjacent toilets didn't cause water to back up into the tubs, so it's definitely just a localized drain issue at the tubs. 

Rock toilet with your knees (straddle it an move it side to side) to look for soft flooring.
