As a landlord, and already attempting the obvious "let's snake the drain" move, do you just hire someone to fix it, or continue to ask her permission to stop by and try home remedies?

An attempt at being comical that perhaps didn't translate well.

It is Fit Body Boot Camp.  

We have brought many intriguing deals his way in the past months but he always seems to get cold feet at the last second, being that this is the first time he has participated in this kind of deal, and letting great opportunities pass.We have been working diligently on finding deals, creating a rockstar team, and even working on obtaining RE licenses, all in attempt to execute on a BRRRR project but it just hasn't come to fruition yet..A couple questions I have for BP members:1) What are the most common concerns, objections, etc. you've gotten from private money lenders?

I had gone to several closings with my parents and had already closed several properties on my own before attempting a closing on my own.Bottom line: If you don't know what the hell you are doing, pay someone.

Since townhouses are sold independently (1 deed per unit) I was curious if by attempting to buy both connecting units if you could structure the loan similar to that of a Multi Family Owner Occupied purchase and observe the benefits of the reduced down payment.I appreciate your feedback.

That’s a question best asked of an actual lender...attempt to get a preapproval, mentioning this issue specifically 

I dont care why the house smells; smoke, pets, dead body, food, trash, it is all the same. 

Can’t tell you how many got replaced due to theft and attempted theft.10) Know your exit strategy and number, is there upside?

I am attempting to rent a house and am currently in negotiations with the landlord.
