The fix the issue and installed a cleanout which was not thereBut- Was a big surprise They told me - the sewer pipes connect to a septic tank not to main sewer line without permit.

Then the following Sunday morning we get a call from the same tenant that the pipes in that same bathroom but another area have busted & again water is flowing.

The bathroom count is too small for this number of bedrooms so I would plan to convert the ground floor half bath to a 3/4 by adding a shower and adding an additional full bathroom upstairs attached to the main bedroom, which could connect to the pipes. etc. for the existing bathroom.

Tenant agrees to comply with all duties required by Wyoming Statute §1-21-1204: maintain the Premises in clean and safe condition and not unreasonably burden any common area; dispose of all garbage and other waste; maintain all plumbing fixtures in a condition as sanitary as the fixtures permit; use all electrical, plumbing, sanitary, heating, and other facilities and appliances in a reasonable manner; prevent water pipes from freezing by turning off outside spigots, disconnecting hoses, and keeping the rental heated to at least 50 degrees; replace lightbulbs, air filters, water filters, and other consumables as needed; test smoke detectors every six months and replace batteries as needed; immediately notify Agent in writing of any defects or dangerous conditions Tenant becomes aware of; replace broken or cracked glass, no matter the circumstance of breakage, unless the Tenant provides Agent with a police report detailing breakage beyond the control of Tenant; pay to repair anything damaged by the Tenant, his guests or invitees, whether through intentional act or negligence; upon termination, remove all personal property and garbage either owned or placed on the Premises by Tenant and clean the Premises to the condition at the beginning of the AgreementCreate a policy and stick to it.

But the next day, I had a second counter offer accepted for a not as dated 1970s triplex that I wasn’t expecting so I’m now feeling a combination of fear and excitement that I’m sure a lot of you felt on a first deal. 

If the properties have no loan it may seem counter intuitive but get a cash out on them.

This unit needs a whole new subfloor thru out the unit (3/4in plywood), a floor (FVP), new kitchen (cabinets and counters), and bathroom (Vanity Toilet, tub.   

I spent a lot of years driving junkers, mucking around in crawl spaces fooling with sewer pipes, and using my week or two's vacation from my "day" job to get rental properties rehabbed.

As far as I know, attorney's are paid a large portion of the premium for performing advanced title searches, I don't know how this works super well so if you have counter evidence let me know.

Be a bean counter that knows where the money goes.We must build more housing.
