Alvaro Rodriguez Investing in a house with a pool
10 May 2019 | 5 replies
What we suggest is that the owner continue to cover the cost of the pool weekly keep up so that there’s no lapse or damage to the pool pumps motors or the pool itself You can include that in the cost of the rental so it will not be an added cost to you the owner.Remember that not everyone wants a pool, so you could potentially lose renters because they do not want a pool to deal with.I think there are enough people in the market that will want a pool so I do not see that as a detractor.

Ben C Furnace filter
29 May 2011 | 3 replies
How important the A/C is will depend on where your rental property is located and how hot the temps get there and how many months the hot weather lasts.I would just include replacing the filters as a bonus to the tenant.Filters say they last 3 months but really it is not true.This is especially if you have a smoker or a tenant with pets.What happens is air filters should be replaced if the cheap ones about every month to 2 months max.Expensive ones you can go up to 2 months.If you wait 3 as more dirt is attached to the filter it restricts air flow and won't pull in as much dirt.When this happens less air will flow through the vents and the tenant will turn the unit down more and the resistance will make the motor work harder and wear out faster.I was having this happen in my house.A/C unit is 9 years old.When it gets in the high 90's here the A/C unit was getting in the 80's.Has an A/C guy come out.I had the old analog mercury switch A/C thermostat which is off by as much as 5 to 6 degrees sometimes the guy told me.I use the Filtrete Ultra Allergen because we have 5 cats and was replacing filter every 3 months (cost about 17 bucks a filter).The A/C guy explained about air flow and that I need to replace filter every month.The high end filter will catch more particles he said and when you keep them replaced they are fine every month.If you wait the 3 months it will reduce the air flow to much with the dirt it catches.So I replaced the filter and he also checked my free on level which was fine but my coils needed cleaning.He just basically took a hose and cleaned it out after turning power off and before the 100 dollar bill was not sticking to the coil halfway to the bottom.After cleaning the bill was sticking to the coil everywhere.He said it's important that when the heat comes out the coil can cool it properly before it goes back in the house.I bought the electronic thermostat myself for 25 bucks and took out the mercury one.Now with it being 95 outside it is holding at 73 degrees just fine.So I would replace filter every 2 months at the most to preserve the motor and help air flow.On some properties the builder installed too small of duct lines for the air flow and run to the vents anyways so any little air flow restriction will make the unit hard to keep cool in the hot weather.Probably too much info but thought I would share.Hope it helps.

Joel Owens How to control water bills in your apartments??
22 July 2011 | 4 replies
Okay so in my apartments I tell the previous owner (I recently just bought them) that I plan on going in once a month and changing the air filter.This way the units can be inspected some and also I know the power bill won't be as high for the tenant and the low air flow won't burn out the fan motors faster.The seller mentioned to me that I should also check the toilets as well.The seller stated that tenants like to put those chlorox bleach tablets in the toilets and it eats up the flapper valves.This causes a water leak and runs up the water bill for the landlord.Here the water is included in the total rent payment each month.So should I ban the chlorine tablets from the toilets or should I just replace the flappers all at once??
