No lender can stay in business only making 1,800 a file they would go down the tubes quite quickly.  

as stated the U tube guys area basically in it as i have come to find out   they are in it to make commissions on their channel and some do extremely well who needs to buy real estate when your clicks are bringing in 20 30 50k a month in net revenue.. 

We cage all of our A/C units now using custom fabricated 2 inch square tube, typically mounting them into the wall so the bolts have to be released from inside.

I have seen all manner of responses to include “I saw the You Tube videos” to “I took the online course.”

Dont listen to hucksters with podcasts and you tube channels to tell you what you should or shouldn't want or should or shouldn't do.

You can snow ski at Mt Humphreys near Flagstaff one day, and tube the salt river near Phoenix the next - Either very hot, or very cold - not a lot of in between unless you want to live more rural.  

Also be on the lookout for knob and tube wiring.

Yo Jerry ,,,hope all is well up in "Gods Country"About your project;The easy answer is .when dealing with decomposed,rotten or failing pipe especially "rough cast iron drain pipe" it is best to simply remove and replace the original bad material.You want clean smooth surfaces on your drain lines especially if this is a rental,,it assures proper draining and trouble free service .In this case,Jerry I would take my time and do a thorough analysis and inspection of these original drain lines.I would certainly invite a competent local family owned and operated plumbing company to perform a sewer video camera inspection and make you a dvd showing the condition of the drainlines.If you have cracked cast iron pipe above ground its very likely you have more of it along with cracked 4" red clay drainpipe underground.If this is the case ,you must bite the bullet and have it replaced.Cracked pipe can be saved with epoxy "lining systems" but I'm not crazy about them.Yeah they are OK if done right,but at the end of the day you still have cracked crummy pipe with a liner.I like to dig up ,remove and replace bad drainpipe.Another better alternative is Trenchless Pipe Replacement or "Pipe Bursting" ,,,with this process you break the original cracked pipe out of the way and actually "pull " new PE polyurethane drainpipe using the old pipe as a guide or conduit.Check out the many excellent animated and real video footage  demos of the process on You Tube,,,,,I dont like mixing cast iron with the black ABS plastic drain pipe.I like one or the other.No hub cast iron pipe is much more durable than ABS but really doesnt cost much more.However ABS will work fine if properly installed,that means pipe and fittings are glued properly and horzontal pipe is installed and "hung" at a 1/4" inch per foot grade.You asking me about burying Fernco rubber "boot" fittings underground.I dont like them .Burying a UPC code approved "No Hub Coupling" which is a black neoprene sleeve covered by a pliable stainless steel jacket is fine.Again if its installed properly.Youll need whats called a no hub torque wrench and you tighten these suckers up to 72 inch pounds.Your friendly counterman at the local Plumbing Supply House will show you how they work.But while you there,,,I would make friends with that counterman and at least ask for a referal to a competent local plumber that takes on small projects invite him to look at your job and get an honest opinion of the condition of your drainlines and whats needed to correct things.Then youll know without a doubt whether its a DYI project or a case where your better off hiring a pro,Good luck Jerry and hope this helpsDD in L.A 

I am devastated at how my carefully protected credit score is now down the tubes.
