I'm currently under contract to close on a 4-plex on June 24 and found out that there's a registered sex offender living in one of the units on a month-to-month lease. I have to live in one of the units (mortgage reasons) plus his rent is the lowest so I'd rather live in that unit and renovate it.
Being a 24 year old female, I don't quite feel comfortable going through the ending of lease process. Am I able to have the current landlord end his lease during the closing process if she's willing?
Abby - do yourself a favor and hire a good property manager that can communicate with tenants on your behalf.

@Jessica Franco - if you are looking for custom cut Formica counters - L&T Cabinets and Countertops is probably the best.
Post: Water Heater duplex puzzle - Tankless or Attic Gas?

If it has two water taps, which I assume it does, you will need two tankless units. That said, they *COULD* both be connected to the same propane tank. I don't think it would be any more expensive than your current quotes and you wont have ugly protrusions built onto your house to hide water heaters. You would also solve the issue of venting and potential leaks in the unit. While they may be more expensive to maintain, it sure beats units in an attic or destroying the look of your property with an ugly add on. Just my two cents.
Or, as others have suggested, dig out the crawl and install shorty units.

You really need to consider exterior mount, Direct Vent, propane tankless water heaters. With a large one you could even manage to install one that will service both units. Burry the propane tank underground.

Post: Tree Roots in PVC Sewer Line Possible?

I had a call from the PM for one of my rentals saying the sewer line was backed-up. This house is only 30 years old, so assume that the line is PVC. I was under the impression that PVC withstood tree roots. Is it possible for tree roots to get into PVC?
I've had to replace old clay pipes due to roots, but am surprised to get this call. Maybe there's an offset joint or crack?
This property is in southern Indiana. It does get cold, but would be surprised as well if the line could freeze.
With it being a relatively newer property I imagine that there is a clean out that a plumber can use to clear the line. My first assumption would not be tree roots, but its certainly possible, especially if there is a crack in the line somewhere. The good news is that if you can isolate the problem area it should be a relatively simple fix.

@Tiffani Trentham. Pretty sure they mean 15000 sf ft lot - not house ;)
