They're only required to repay you for health, safety, preservation of the property....fixing broken windows, roof leaks, locks, etc.#3. 

Biggest dollar savings would be in reduced hot water consumption and lower gas bill.Yes I use water saving shower heads.

As you all know, getting a phone call in the middle of the night from a tenant with no heat or water leaking is a nightmare most do not want.  

A few weeks ago, her washer and dryer hose burst causing a massive water leak.

I had a water leak at a property that required remediation.

I'm not trying to rain on anybody's parade, but anyone who follows advice that is that general in nature and tries to do one of these, by advice from a post on a forum, is sure to find themselves discussing the deal with a nasty attorney on the other side of the transaction and in a very formal setting called a court room.I can not tell someone that you can climb into a piper airplane, put the key in the ignition and hit the gas and you will be flying.

They also can leak if not installed properly.

Within 15 min from grocery stores/gas stations and not near a lot of traffic which is really all we want lol.

It's allowed me to do some of my own work like changing toilets and fixing leaking ceilings, but even if I don't want to do a job personally hopefully I'll have enough knowledge to not let a contractor over charge me, or recommend something I don't need.You'll also meet local contractors, and hopefully investors.They may offer an employee discount too.

My bedroom ceiling started leaking...I put a pot on the floor to catch the water and called the landlord at 11PM.
