@Justin Thorpe -i have to echo your comment about WFH being a temporary thing...People who think WFH will be permanent is likely not working in the tech industry....For those of us actually working a corp job in the tech, we all know that WHF means reduced productivity for the companies, and there is NO way companies will allow this forever...Also, once some employees start going back to office, the rest will be forced to go back too due to peer pressure... pretty soon, people will be going back for fear of looking bad if their peers are sitting in the office every day.....

No - and it's because  I am never under pressure to get in a tenant in order to pay the mortgage.

They typically run water in the bathtub, add some, dye to the water, run about 150gallons of water for a three bedroom house, and watch to see see if any dye shows up where it shouldn't.As previously mentioned, the leach lines tend to fail much more often and sooner then the tanks.Typical septic replacements for us, 8,500 for an off lot airation system, up to 16,000 if they have to install mounnd or drip system.WellsWells, majority of problems are pressure tanks, well pumps, typically under 500.

This means the person who works during the day and the one that works in the evening and the one who doesn't work at all will all be able to view the property and submit their application without feeling the pressure to rush to be first in line.

They even work with us where, for example, on one turnover last year we came in town and did what we wanted (pressure washed house, painted outdoor trim, stained decks, fixed fence, etc.), then they finished it up when we were done.  

It depends on how good you think you are at finding good tenants with your own resources and it will be influenced by the financial pressures you face.

Pressure washer.

The water pressure was through the roof!

If you would have pressure washed the driveway, and did a little landscaping for $500 - you might have saved yourself $1,500 and been out of the house 2 months earlier.

All these homes are in southeast Georgia, all center townhouses in an HOA community where a monthly fee I pay covers pressure washing, lawn care and access to some neighborhood amenities.
