I haven't found an issue hitting over $1M in purchase price, it's actually staying within my abilities to have a 25% down payment, funds for property updates and 9-12 months of P&I payments that I have to watch with these markets.

I barely watch tv, if ever.

You have to watch every penny.

I can read a million books, and watch a thousand videos, but if there is no one to answer the questions I have, I'm lost.

Watch Your Mortgage TermsFor starters, a fair mortgage is the foundation for any successful house hacker.

Might be a good idea to research and watch some podcasts, YouTube videos, etc. with your wife so you guys can learn more about the facts of the matter together.

I watch videos I read books and I am on bigger pockets trying to absorb all the information I can.

Then you REALLY have one-million in cash that belongs to you--to risk on investing, without the risk of losing the cash cow.I assume you live well, and 10 million a year won't make that much difference in your life than 1 million a year...You can only spend so much and still live a splendid lifestyle.But if something happens and you lose that cash cow to bank foreclosure, sleeping on a park bench could be a reality.Just my 2 cents.https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Christmas was the worst part of this mess as I was constantly watching my phone with anticipation of the next issue.  

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!
