My name is Trevor and, at 30 years old, I find myself trapped in an office working for the Federal Government.

Pushing the prices up, then crashing it when they all sell together.Personally I do not care about death in the house, especially when its hospice and what the person wanted, but some religions believe that the soul can be trapped if the person dies inside.

I tend to fall into the trap of listening to sob stories and not raising rent for 3-4 years and the thought of rehabbing after a tenant move-out is always daunting.  

I've noticed the typical Silicon Valley hard-core tech startups have a disproportionately high male to female employee ratio, a large portion of engineers hold advanced degrees from big-name tech schools like Stanford and MIT, the C level execs all have extensive tech background even the ones that deal with the business side, etc. checking out online reviews is actually not that straightforward and without traps.

Don’t fall into that trap either.

Look at YT videos on how to fix them or troubleshoot, so you will know key words to look for (and smell out imaginary cost-boosting terms like "a trap relay is unhinged"Make sure as much as you have is working.

Hi Bruce,Yes, and flush the toilets and run the water in every drain, including floor drains.Open the windows for a while to air it out.The water evaporates in the traps and sewer gases fill the house.Don't light a match or smoke inside until the house airs out.Also be there when the water comes back on and look at, and listen (at the meter) for leaks.Good Luck!

It is so easy to get into the trap of wanting to get the property to the standards you would want to live in.
