Often it won't be a replaceable filter like a whole-house furnace would have, but a piece of wire or plastic mesh that you slide out of the front of the unit, wash, dry, and reinstall.If you get funky, musty smells, unplug it, and take the entire plastic front off of it. 

@Marie Fries I'm in Virginia, and yea I think I'm just going to stick to investing for now until I gain some more experience so then I know if I want to get my license or investing is enough.

I'll only preface that I work a full-time job from Mon - Fri, but I am typically available anytime during weekends, or early morning/later evenings during weekdays.Looking forward to meeting and learning from you guys here in BiggerPockets community!
