You can be the bank and gain a nice return without tenants, toilets or termites

I later found out that it was because of two running toilets.

Its all a calculated risk and understanding what you can and can't get away with in your own farm area.Lastly as for selling I did actually receive a few offers but unfortunately none of them ever panned out.

It would be stupid of me to be giving 10% of my monthly cash flow to a PM just because I don't want to fix a toilet at 2 am in the morning.

Things like roofs or structural or things that make it livable....like missing toilets, missing heat, broken windows....sometimes flooring.   

I'd buy a drop in pan if I could but it is 30x30 with a drain that isn't centered. 

You can shower at the gym, you can drink bottled water but you might want to consider water and toilets if they stay. you don't want clogs. 

There is no sense in discussing reckless investment into hot cyclical markets without these safeguards...those investors are not on BP trying to learn how to prudently invest.These BP market correction posts have been going on for years.and the reality is markets are correcting all the time.. in some place in the US.. this is also highly regional. some markets are still in the toilet and maybe will never come back..  

That means if the A/C went out they had to treat it like your water isn't working, the only toilet isn't flushing etc.
