It isn't an issue at our house as we are up from the lake a bit, but some homes right near the waters edge can have trouble.

See if you can get a copy of The Millionnaire Real Estate Investor by Keller.The Slight Edge and Atomic Habits too.Awesome board with many smart people having own suggestions and ideas to grow wealth!!

I have a duplex where the plumbing was getting backed up.Had a plumber go out there and put a camera in the lines and turns out there are roots growing into the plumbing from a nearby tree.The quote to rip out and replace the plumbing was a staggering number.My thought is to cut down the tree to stop the growing and then eventually put the liner in the plumbing.Any experience with this?

Turns out, during construction, one of our vendors flushed something down the toilet, causing a clog, which led to the system overflowing and flooding the home.We ended up having to cut and replace drywall in multiple rooms and swap out the wet carpet, which will cost us around $10K.Mishaps like this will happen in Real Estate.

Lots of trees to cut up and haul off.

The only time we ever have a leverage cut is if the appraisal comes back rural, market rent is significantly less, or the credit score dropped under 700.

I am too busy to hear about the latest unit that got broken into and stripped.. or the latest drama of tenant who cant or wont pay either their total rent or their portion of the rent after the section 8 payment. and then the constant turn over and cost associated with turnover.. the Investors buying these are not C and D class folks like the tenants that are going to occupy their props so they really have very little clue about how those folks live their life and on the razor sharp edge they are financially.

Hey Brian, you're not cash flowing, but you've significantly cut your living expenses! 

If the platform feels like you are trying to cut them out of their fee, then you may lose the ability to list temporarily or permanently.

I really appreciate this kind of feedback and am likely to cut a deal with them to get it rented.
