To me it’s a good investment property only if the price is right.  it has to make sense based on your goals so put in an offer that matches your goals

Looking to flip a house and need new stove and refrigerator . 
my realtor suggests I go stainless steel 700 each but I want simple white ones for $400 each . 
she says the investment will pay off . Its an average middle-class neighborhood. 
my first flip . usually I have long-term rentals . how high do people go with appliances when flipping?

Jetting is Usually about $800-$1000      ..   that estimate seems excessive. I will get several more estimates

I’m sure they don’t mean harm and no harm should go to them so please don’t shoot them !   the suggestions above are very helpful and humane

I don’t get why people would pay for an education when you could get it for free on bigger pockets.

I am not an attorney but my feeling is this could be problematic . 
make sure you seek the advice of a lawyer . you should be the only one on the title

JD- I had the entire Septic replaced four months before they moved in. 

Are you saying for me to pay for the declogging even though the lease clearly states it’s on them ?

the fact the pipes were working fine for two years is proof enough that there was no grease, isnt it?

The septic co. 
said it would cost $350 to take the grease out from the lines . 

I do have it pumped every two years so I know they are responsible for the clog. 
it may take 3 to 4 months to evict them so I’m not sure what that would look like not having a toilet for 4 months.
