In the grand scheme of things, yes, you should eventually replace the windows so 1) They operate properly. 2) It doesn't turn away potential tenants or cause maintenance hassles when a new one moves in.3) Tenants have proper egress in case of an emergency (like fire).Now, windows are expensive, so you'll have to decide how much you're willing to spend, based on how much income the property is bringing in.

Therefore, if your rental income doesn't keep up with inflation, you must consistently reduce your monthly expenses or return to work to compensate for decreased purchasing power to maintain your living standard.No matter how many properties you eventually own, unless rents outpace inflation, you can not achieve true financial freedom.Back to Your SituationYou stated, “I don't believe that the property will continue to appreciate or see the rent growth it has seen over the past few years.”
