The toilet that flushes 7 golf balls is a good one.

A good realtor will be able to flush out whether or not you are a serious investor or someone who says they are an investor but won't ever do a deal. 

Happy to compare notes and flush out the details.

It needs to be determined if the leak is continuous or intermittent, ie; it only happens when the toilet is flushed, or only when the shower is running, etc. 

So there was a continuous water flow vs one that leaks past the flush valve causing the toilet to run intermittently.

In this market, which is flush with cash buyers and 1031 exchange money, as has been the case for a while, it's not hard to sell bundles of property regardless of financing seller side financing.

If there are no HVAC chases in the floor system or pipes / wires you can put in a flush beam so it won't hang down. 

As previously stated, the best strategy is to employ professional Property Management to help illuminate the particular property submarket an help flush out your business plan.

The upsides of the deal is that this will most likely not be approved for conventional financing (flushing out some potential other buyers) which means you need to go hard money or better yet, seller financing.I would go back to the sellers and make an offer from the NOI on the 5 units and if they agree to seller financing sharpen your pencil since there is a lot of upside here potentially.

Run all the sinks, flush all the toilets, run the shower and tub to make sure they are OK.Put fresh batteries in anything that needs them - smoke detectors, doorbell, garage door opener remotes, closet lights, etc.Make sure you have enough door keys for both you and the tenants.
