This video is different from the norm, it's a few tasks getting one of my rentals cleaned up between renters. I get a lot of comments about how people are going to tear up a place and so on. This house was rented for over 4 years and required only minor repair and clean up. I replaced the bathroom floor covering, did some touch up painting, some weather stripping, etc. I had someone come in and do some cleaning which included wiping things down, cleaning windows, a serious oven cleaning, vacuuming and shampooing the carpet. This house will be rented for $600 for reference, it has been paid for for years now meaning that outside the bare minimum cost of ownership (Insurance, property tax and income tax) this is a high profit house. With owner financing, my actual cash investment was very low at only a few thousand dollars. Once it was rented, the tenant was paying twice what my monthly payment was. The tenant covered the payment and I still walked away with a profit, making it easier to move forward on other projects.

Toilet installation tip: Cut 4" or more off a plastic drinking straw and place over each toilet hold-down bolt, creating an extension of that bolt which allows you to better line up the holes and the bolts without compressing the wax ring prematurely. Also, if needed, wax rings can be doubled up for hard to seal toilets.
@markusayt

Hey, love your videos and your work ethic. I have a tip for you if you'd like. It's one that has served me well. When you're ready to install the toilet, put some thick milkshake straws on/over the flange bolts (on the floor ring) first, and then bring your toilet on down through those straws first and perfectly lined up from there. You'll get her all set first time, every time. Of course, you can cut the length of the straws beforehand.

Bri - It’s what I do. I supply appliances but tell tenants they aren’t guaranteed and they’ll have to replace them if they break. Even though I WILL replace or repair them if they break, I find that if the tenants believe I won’t, they take much better care of them.

All home interior water shutoff valves should be upgraded to new 1/4 turn valves. Cheap insurance against future issues. I only say this cuz I didn't see if they were changed. I usually double up the wax rings too. Also, the number one reason why tenants remove batteries from smoke detectors is because they're always being set off by things other than smoke from a kitchen or structure fire, like steam, vaping, smoking, Etc. The best way to avoid this so they save lives and property and batteries is to mount them on the wall 6 to 12 inches below the ceiling. Read install directions... they say that. Nice little house. Great channel! Love your videos! You are a terrific inspiration. Thank you.

A neat little trick my plumber used was stacking two wax rings together! YMMV!

A couple tips. When installing the Johnni bolts into the flange measure out 12" from the finish wall and use a set of washers and nuts (the same type of nuts and washers that come with the johnni bolt kit) and secure them down to the flange. that way they don't flopping around as you are trying to lower the toilet down, also when you have to lift the toilet for repairs the bolts will be secure and won't spin and spin when you are loosening them The wax ring instructions tell you to put it on the bottom on the toilet, the better way is to put it on the clean and dry flange after you have the bolts set up and just smoosh it down a bit so it wont move. If your flange is sitting directly on the finished floor like your is (which is the correct way.) a single plain wax ring is the best and standard way to set a toilet. If you have a solid and correct height flange ,wax rings with horns or other things will be detrimental to your install. I see you have a repair flange in place, you have to be careful with repair flanges with really old toilets, those old toilets have extra thick horns on the bottoms and sometime wont go into a repair flange because of the narrower opening. Usually ill do a dry fit to check to see how it lands. Great choice on keeping the old 3.5 gallon flush toilet. Keep it for as long as you can even if you have to totally rebuild it. Maybe throw a couple lag type johnni bolts into the front holes. Those old american standards had a balance point further back from center than all the newer toilets, they have a tendency to want to lean back with weight on them and break the wax seal. I have enjoyed all of your videos, keep up the great work.

You will have better luck of not leaking if you use a wax ring with the black horn in the wax ring. Also, using the flange with a metal ring attached to the pipe is much more sturdy! Just some suggestions from an old plumber.

There's a green foamy stype ring that home depot sells (forget name) but its supposed to have all these advantages etc. I installed it on my downstairs bathroom 5 years ago with no issues and used one when I did the floor on my rental and didnt finish that day and had to place the toilet and remove again next day to finish as I had a tenant living in it at the time.. Worked awesome and if you dont set it right 1st time like wax you can adjust it or remove it and start over etc.. It's called "sani seal" and you can use it with the lip or without depending on your flange/flooring.

Really dig the vinyl. It probably helps that the rest of the bathroom is white. It might have got a little busy if there were other colors. The Habitat Re-stores are fantastic ways to get inexpensive fixes. We got a lower kitchen cabinet from one and made an island at our last rental because there was no counter space at all.

I know the packaging always says to put the wax ring on the toilet first but I've always stuck it on the floor then put the toilet on it. I don't know if this is actually easier but it seems easier in my head lol

I enjoyed this video showing what has to be done to get a place ready for the next tenant. Of course this was the best case scenario with a good tenant, can't imagine what a bad one would look like. Your skills help by keeping your costs down. Great bathroom floor, would of been nice to replace the kitchen too. Thanks again for letting us in for a peek.
