Window replacement worth doing?

[Stephanie Cruz]

We purchased a second home earlier this year using a conventional mortgage, and we plan to live in it for a year while doing some DIY work to fix it up. We plan to turn this into an Airbnb and buy another home under a conventional mortgage once our one-year period is up. We noticed our windows leak when it rains, and during the winter, the windows had ice inside the home, causing puddles of water to form on all of our window sills when the ice melted. I have had to use a towel to remove the leak from the window sills on our windows at least twice a day during the winter. 

Is the cost of replacing the windows worth it in this situation? We're hoping to start getting quotes next week.

If the wood around the windows starts rotting you'll have a bigger repair bill. I'd get a few quotes and get them replaced ASAP. It's going to protect the property if you plan to hold this one for a long time.
