[Notice: This flat contains a mildly offensive word.]

The first answer word to this flat has five letters. The second answer word is a hyphenated phrase made up of four of those letters - only the second letter is changed.

 

The realtor made it seem so nice,

But now you're there and thinking 

   twice.

The water's cloudy, farcet's leaky,

Sink is rusty, pipes are creaky. 

You want to fix things? You could,

   say,

Go run it by the HOA.

Or just spruce up this _ _ _ _ _ yourself!

Go get your tool belt off the shelf.

Your plumbing's bad, but you're not

   screwed,

And with a _ _ _ - _ _ attitude

You're sure to get things looking great

At much less than a plumber's rate.
