  • My mother is like this. She rents out her house for under half it’s market value.

    The tenants know they have it good though and do a lot of things that really should be my mother’s responsibility like pay for or do minor repairs when they come up.

    I have told my mom that the needs to raise rent at least some because she’s not saving enough for big things that will come up like roof replacement, but she’s terrified of her tenants leaving.

    I don’t have a basement.

    I have a crawlspace, the plumbing is all in the crawlspace.

    Water doesn’t need to be pumped up from the crawlspace because the lines are under pressure from the city main.

    Now, if the city water distribution system was down I wouldn’t have fresh water, but there are zero water pumps in my home.

    As for sewage, the sewer lines are below all my plumbing, so gravity is enough to drain them.
