If the complainer can't smell it in their apartment, but, are uptight enough to be bothered by the passing smell in the hallway...it may not be the smoker that has the problem.I have found that complainers/boat rockers are often wound a bit to tight, and that when you are a highly responsive empathetic landlord, they turn you in to their own personal karma delivery machine, to right all the wrongs that previously fallen on deaf ears.Good luck.

After all of this, we are invested in your journey too!

Point is, there is a new bar being set and if your not operating up to it, we are going to make your listing look like crap and perform like crap because were putting this out to the potential tenants and who'd you pursue and choose?

We are in the woods where we really wanted to create another sort of living space outside of the square footage of the home. 

Hopefully that slide stops due to seasonality in spring, but if we are in another year of stagnation prices may plummet.

Quote from @Sofia De Santos Tavarez: Hi, my husband and I are new to real estate investing and have a property we are renting out to tenants.

Hi @Mark Hafner, we are active in the Spanish real estate market and have been developing several real estate projects in the last few years in the Valencia area (Valencia city and the Costa Blanca).

What caught my eye was how timeless your question is - high prices and tight cash flow are still big challenges here.

If we are purchasing properties when the market is a highly appreciated seller’s market, we need to realize we may be in DUMB DEBT and should be prepared for the risk of suffering the consequences if and when the economy turns for the worst and goes into a recession as this will likely cause values to drop.

We are talking high risk to the 4th+ power.
