You'll have to fix that leaky sink or toilet.

Reasonable being defined as allowing a grab bar in shower, higher toilets, etc.

In addition, we repaired/retextured the ceilings, repaired and painted all the walls, added new light fixtures and door hardware, new vanities and toilets, all new flooring and baseboards.

Studied the asset class for months and loved the idea of no toilets, no hvac, and renting out metal boxes.

Hi everyone,
I am in the process of buying a duplex from my parents for my fiance and I to move into when we are married in less than 2 months. We have been pushing back the closing date because this tenant will not ...

The first realtor I worked with got mad at me for fidgeting with the thermostat, pulling on handrails and wiggling the toilets.

so there you go... no tenants no toilets no risk of market melt down.. pay cash do your 1031 and in 15 to 20 years make a boat load of money like we did.

I don't know what they do in Illinois, but courts would take a pretty dim view of someone squatting in your property here in Tennessee. 

People always think it is so easy to just collect rent and unclog a toilet!!!!

You should be able to replace the innards of a toilet, change the wax ring, change all the plumbing under a sink (supply lines, shut off valves, p trap and other pipes) and above a sink (faucet and cartridges), replace the agitator dogs of a washer, replace the heating element of an electric dryer, change the air filter of your central air, replace the ignitor of a gas furnace, replace heating elements of an electric furnace, replace the ballast of a fluorescent light, the list goes on if you want to make more money in rental property near you.
