.Ideal grade is one 1/4" drop for every foot.That is you slope or tilt the pipe downwards a 1/4" inch for every foot in length of the actual drainline.If the pipe is exposed or "hung" in a crawl space under the house ,and if you have the guts and experience to rehang that pipe,go for it.Attention,,,dont even think about doing that work unless you have several years experience working around electrical lines in a confined space like a 18-24 inch crawl space under a house.Again in these cases you want to hire a licensed plumber.stick to rebuilding faucets and hanging lavatories stuff where you wont get hurt,,,Hope this helps JodyDD in L.A.

Don’t go full tilt on the next one.

Sellers market = more demand for homes, less supply.A rule of thumb metric I used to use is called "absorption rate", which refers to how long it would take every active listing to sell given the current pace of sales happening.So if there are 100 listings on the market, and an average of 25 sales a month happening, the absorption rate is 4 months.My rule of thumb is less than 6 months tends to tilt towards a sellers market, more than 6 towards buyers market.

@Dean Letfus Dean, your picture is tilted to the leftus.

But I’m going to get back full tilt this summer.  

On paper, it looks like a so-so bet, but if you are passive or semi-passive, it comes with the kind of risks that just tilt the scales massively against success.  

I've designed a lot of charter schools using tilt up, and like mentioned earlier, it's great for taller, larger projects like gymnasiums, etc, but I just don't see it for residential, particularly with small two to three story multifamily.

Rent appreciation is very likely to tilt the numbers.

The tilting floors are a give away.I know that you don't want to be to the northeast of a cranberry bog as pesticides sprayed by helicopter are carried by the prevailing southwest winds.It's that level of detail that automation just won't be able to replace.I agree that the old school style of brokerage with the big office with plate glass windows on Main St might want to re-think things. 

. 🏠👍 100% agreed.I've witnessed way to many investors over the years getting caught with their pants down when using too much leverage.The real estate "guru" world is incentivized by selling more properties (Realtors earn commissions on every property sold) and "no money or low money" strategies (Easy way to flog books and seminars), etc...So leverage to the tilt they would say...The best deals are bought quickly and with cash.All good things take time and so does building a strong and sustainable real estate portfolio.Start slow and small and build the foundation of your portfolio with cash.This will minimize losses when vacancies occur and one hopefully won't have to put their hand too deep in their own pocket to cover expenses as they occur (Especially large expenses like mortgage costs).Once a solid foundation has been built and experience gained over a period of time of what the true income vs expenses will be, then look at using leverage.Also, all deals should be analyzed from a "devils advocate" standpoint and don't get too excited about it's initial prospects.If you think it won't happen to, I'm here to tell you that it will.This is coming from someone that has done hundreds of deals and has seen it all.Always protect the bottom line first and foremost.Much success
