I have learned what I know by trial and error, making mistakes, having sleepless nights and drained bank accounts.

The average lifespan of cast iron drain/sewer pipe is 50 to 65 years. 

What can be built over the Storm Drain easementAny other limitations/factors/etcThe land has been on the market for 55 days and had a pending sale a month ago that fell through.

$550 down the drain, results = 1 jumper to hold ground if the water meter is removed.

The tenant was also charged $130 for tenant caused repairs (I.E. dog holes in back yard).The work needed upon move out was:- Full paint including ceilings in all 3 upstairs bedrooms - normal wear and tear- Paint interior and exterior doors front and back - normal wear and tear the sun beats down on these doors- Fill in all nail holes and repair where old curtain rods were on windows- Install smoke alarms - normal upon move out- Change furnace filter - normal upon move out- Fill dog holes in back yard - Check all plumbing and electrical to ensure is functioning (switches, plugs, outlets, drains, faucets) - precautionary to avoid maintenance issues as it is cheaper to do everything at once rather than have several maintenance calls after a move in- Roof repairs - not tenant damage- Ceiling repairs in upper bedrooms - due to roof leak- Repair storm door on front and rear entry- Remove all debris throughout the property- Check all cabinets, doors, hinges, are tight and open/close as they should - precautionary to avoid maintenance issues as it is cheaper to do everything at once rather than have several maintenance calls after a move in- Repair kitchen cabinet that is leaning forward - minor repair- Install shower head- Reglaze bathtub - not tenant damage- Install light bulbs in every socket - normal upon move out- Check all ceiling fans operate and install globes where missing - precautionary to avoid maintenance issues as it is cheaper to do everything at once rather than have several maintenance calls after a move in- Change front and back entry door locks - normal In move outYour response below:Skye,Isn't this supposed to be covered by the tenant's deposit?

I put up walls, drywall, did the flooring and plumbing for the bathroom, including relocating a floor drain.

Just make sure there is no "structural issue" with the property or some issue that will drain you financially.Don't get analysis paralysis. 

(That's how I know I'm not an extrovert, btw, because a true extrovert would LOVE interacting with so many people - not me, I usually dread it before, and am drained/wiped afterwards.)I do it out of a feeling of obligation to help newer members/investors, because I was once new myself, and because I do believe in the power of networking, and to do that you have to be willing to interact with and help people.But if you're new and don't know anyone and anxious about groups in general (especially intimidating is how everyone already seems to know each other or are Super Friendly with each other), you can try to "prime the pump" by asking folks here on BP if they're going, and saying in advance that you'd like to talk to them that night, so you'll have at least one person to definitely talk to.Another trick is that, generally people like people who are like themselves.

Turn on each faucet until the lines are free of water.Also remember to drain the water heater. 

Some look structural .You will be doing some footer work , some block work and a lot of parging or stucco work  and concrete work , and drain tile with a sump pit .
