When I have both of the toilets out of comission on rehabs, I look for reasons to go to HD about 9AM my self.Don

My $.02 buy good toilets (kohler with the large trap) and Moen faucets on rentals.

A toilet can stop up or faucet can leak on either end; low or high.

Minimal utilities, low (in theory) expenses, no toilets.

Take off values under sinks and toilets, connect a hose adapter and flush out that line.Watch for leaks, especially ones in walls.

Tenant B and her guests have started using the backyard as a toilet in front of all neighbors, even during daytime hours.

I drive through the city's neighborhoods and on any given block I can find multiple properties in distress, zombie, vampire, abandoned, squatted, boarded or any other term you would like to describe these homes.

I am lucky , I manage and repair  my own properties , in the last month I have rebuilt 2 toilets , replaced a water heater and did a well repair .

Or how about when the tenant flushes cement down the toilet and it costs 5K to repair.Speculating on future appreciation or equity growth is the highest level of investing risk there is.Why would you be willing to work for nothing.

I checked all the sinks and toilets and I just never thought to check the dishwasher or water spigot.
