With rates this low, it has trapped the capital in Real Estate.

I found a great four plex, in a location that is close to schools, colleges, and a hospital ( walking distance) I did the numbers and found it would cash flow, according to the rent that was displayed on the pro-forma..something I would want to insect ( anything specific to look for when inspecting rent rolls?)

Again, if it's a dirty tenant that is allowing the mice, etc. to come in/be attracted, I would say it's on them and they can call for pest control, or set their own traps.  

"Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap."5.

However, the 3 SFH's I purchased in Kansas City have been a money trap due to constant costly repairs, constant tenant turnovers and thus constant re-leasing fees (1 full month rent each time), non-rent payments, eviction, etc.

I put traps around the house as well as in the ceiling.

You dont want to present an opportunity for someone to get trapped on the third floor because of a fire.

I have a motivated seller, property management company, buyer with over $1500 in Section 8 rental vouchers...and my buyer is still trying to obtain finances for the deal.

Chicago is also a huge Turnkey trap city.
