Much of the time we find the resident has never cleaned the lint trap or are filling the dryer so full the clothes cannot tumble. 

I would just put a few more snap traps around, seal the holes to the exterior that the mice are using to get in and out (sprayfoam is your friend for this), and make sure the tenants remove any food or trash, water, whatever is attracting them.

It's a disappointing tactic that takes advantage of people's trust and eagerness to learn.So, how can you avoid falling into the trap of paying for information that's readily available for free?

Reviewing someone's social media and then changing your requirements is a Fair Housing trap.

I've heard of drilling small holes at the top of the exterior window pane to allow trapped moisture to escape, but I've never tried it.

Even though I live in Charlotte, I've spent a lot of time doing loan mods and short sales in places like New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Nevada, Arizona, Washington, California, and Illinois, and have seen the possible trap of only being in one area.I've seen landlords who were intensely renting in a certain geographical area get decimated due to the changes in the marketplace in their locality.

Cash flow is about $250 per month, but I currently have about $140k in trapped equity in the property.

I would warn to be wary of choosing the lowest monthly rate, that is often a huge trap. 

There are a few mentions of it on Bigger pocket forums, but I'm still not getting the whole picture.I found a comprehensive course by William Tingle for $297, but I'm leary about paying much for courses anymore since I've fallen into the trap of paying thousands of dollars on courses, seminars, boot camps, coaching, and mentoring.Does anyone know if this course contains quality information and resources on this subject?

@Garrett Gahn - lots of different schools of thought, but you could put that equity to work instead of it being trapped.
