I turn on all of the lights prior to showing and burn a fragrant candle.

Tenants without electricity tend to use candles for light and that becomes a fire hazard.

I would prohibit incense and scented candles if I thought I could enforce it, and if I didn't think it interfered with quiet enjoyment.  

Turned down numerous other applicants in the process.About a week after start of lease I reached out to see how he was enjoying his new place and found out tennant had not moved in and was complaining of perfume odors.  

A teacher is a candle,  who dims their light; to light another.

I gotta go take a cold shower before my blood boils over.Sounds like Seattle rentals need more vacancy and even more candles. 

—Battery-operated candles.

:Had your wife been trying to get you to quit your JOB before then or was this an out of the blue moment.No but we did have young kids, a full time nanny & yet I was still burning the proverbial candle both ends with a lot of property.

And rentals, even in good appreciation times, can't hold a candle to the trajectory of successful flips, IF you are redeploying the capital into another flip to keep it growing, and not spending it.

There are some good reasons behind this perception as much any distances traveled by bus above say just 3-4 miles can have significant absolute deviation (traffic delays appear quite evenly spread across the short distance from these towns, not just "getting stuck in front of tunnel")That said much of Union City/Weehawken are impressively close to Midtown Manhattan from a pure distance perspective (within 3-4 miles) and most of Jersey City except Downtown can't hold a candle to their commute times to there in particular.
