Dear BP family, Would you be able to recommend a good exterminator in Philly who can take care of squirrels?

Any unplanned vacancy or big ticket item can punch a hole in your financial plans.

I would also be tempted to charge them for any advertizing costs as this was unplanned.

Yeah pest control, particularly squirrels getting into our buildings in Northern NH has been an expense that we had not accounted for when purchasing the properties.

I do check those on the outside when if I am over at a property and will clean the squirrel grate covering if it is clogged up on there.

@Chris Policicchio we were looking in shadyside and squirrel hill.

Within in 12 weeks we were able to essentially build 2 new units ( will break that out below) rehab two more units, up-fit the existing units with water saving measures and fix the foundation leak, drainage issues ( another un planned cost) along with giving the entire complex a significant face lift.

Watch out for the squirrels and raccoons too!

Waiting on estimates, probably ~$4-5k unplanned expense for additional water, electric, and gas meters but worth it to avoid paying tenants' utilities forever or dealing with tenants arguing over who took the longer shower.
