Water should readily drain from sink without any back-ups.Bathroom --Toilet and tank/ Tub and shower/sink: should be clean.

A bad tenant could tank a good prospect and you don’t want that even if it means taking a little longer to fill the unit.You could also offer a bonus after they move out.

They each have their own hot water tank.

Don't touch this money, because you are a HVAC, roof, water heater, septic tank, away from bust.* Your PM will provide you a 1099 tax form to do your write offs at the end of the year. 

We were only able to break even with the sale because the market had tanked after 2008 and by the time we sold in 2011, prices had just gotten back up to 2006 levels. 

Had a roof badly damaged due to a clogged rain cutter.Also, I have one septic tank serviced every 3 to 5 years with tenants using septic tank cleaner.

If the market tanks, my built in equity still exists.

I sold it eight years later, just two years after our local market tanked, and still managed to sell it for an incredible profit/return.

Instead you attack like a shark and say that all my real estate ventures will be a fiasco.
