This eventually leaked into my bottom unit .Ceiling has obvious damage with water lines and traveled to my hardwood floors and it’s surrounding perimeter .

David, I plan on listening to that episode tomorrow during my commute (that I'd like to get rid of eventually).

Well, imagine the sewer main has a partial blockage, and imagine there is a lot of pipe (and thus a lot of sewage capacity) between toilet 1 and blockage in the sewer main--when you flush that toilet, it doesn't back up because there's plenty of pipe to hold the sewage (although, if you repeatedly flushed it, it might back up...and eventually, as the blockage in the sewer main gets worse in the future, it will probably eventually start backing up)...on the other hand, imagine that toilet 2 has minimal pipe between it and the sewer main's blockage (and thus, minimal sewage capacity), so when you flush it, the water almost immediately meets the blockage, causing that toilet to back up.I'm not saying that's necessarily what's occurring at your property--but it's an example of how a blockage could cause one toilet to back up, but not another.To determine whether the problem is indeed caused by a sewer main blockage, watch the scope video, and ask the sewer scope guy to show you where the blockage is on the video.Hopefully that helps...Good luck!

My first thoughts was that maybe we would not be able to find a buyer but eventually we did and was really excited to add value to the motivated out of state seller How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Actually planning on doing both: flip and eventually  buy and holdsThis is probably another topic but what if i want to do  both?

That’s because eventually, most house hackers will turn the primary residence into a rental property as they grow their rental property portfolio.

Most of the time, the property owner eventually repays the delinquent taxes with interest and keeps the property, but if you haven't been repaid after a certain period you can eventually foreclose and acquire the property.

. - You: Receive a healthy return on your time until the properties eventually become yours one day anyways.

interest rates will eventually drop, and you can refinance. 

You'll meet other real estate investors, learn what others are doing, and eventually find a way to provide value to someone you connect well with.
