So Im getting my feet wet with apartment complexes and came across these off market properties.

I'm currently 19 years old and just trying to get my feet wet in real estate investing.

Subterranean termites need to be killed where they live, in the ground.Remember that wet soil will also attract termites - so look for pipes leaking and plants/mulch that stay wet close to the building.In Florida, a wooden building that hasn't been treated for termites recently... has termites.

We refuse as you know... that's not a thing, not able to fully inspect the unit.Almost as soon as they leave and windows are shut, we notice a "wet dog" smell.

Currently, I'm getting educated and my feet wet in the area.

Dogs and cats pee on laminate, hot-water humidifiers leak on it, kids start wet-mopping it when they spill something on it that they don't want Mommy to see, tenants turn off the heat when they go somewhere no matter what you write into the lease, and the stuff swells at the joints.

I had *contractor* come in to look at everything and he said that the wood by the kitchen sink as well as the wood in the front closet had water damage (maybe from wet shoes?)

It must have been leaking for a while, but nobody ever noticed because the older guy didn't shower as much and it didn't ever get wet enough to show or drip.

Time to get my feet wet.
