I had a tub in a duplex I'm working on rehabbing that looked rather unappealing and I'm fairly certain you wouldn't have wanted to bathe in it.

And there's the joy of hiring someone, training them, and then watching them leave due to health or a non-supportive spouse or whatever!

During your visit with the attorney, ask about power of attorney, health care power of attorney, living will and last will. 

(Reidsville, NC) We've found a 2 bed 1 bath house built in 1945 that's been kept in great condition with original hardwoods, cabinets, and cast iron tub.

If you were really conservative on your numbers and made sure to build in capex, and you have a healthly reserve already started, having a low per door cash flow might not be too bad if you can get 26% per year.Keep in mind there are multiple wealth generators, it is the cash flow, appreciation, tax deductions (which might change some with the new tax law) and the principal paydown that can boost the ROI.

I also have a window above the tub that was boarded up. 

Or look into installing a wash tub.

This kind of redundancy is important for many reasons (structural, health, longevity, etc.)

In my opinion, if the well and septic get a clean bill of health, plus the driveway in place and the land cleared, the land has value well above my price.

I’m thinking of getting the inflatable rubber bladder to plug up the lowest point on the stack and plugging the tub drain (tubs already installed), and all rough openings with a compressive / expanding rubber bung.
