We experienced low energy, brain fog, sore throats, headaches, unexplained cough, and more every day for the year we lived there.

I think this gives the slightest of advantages to people who are smaller investors, and also people who are willing to perhaps sacrifice some time and energy short term for long term gains.

Super frustrating to have wasted so much time and energy with them.  

When I do my own units, should I charge a really low price to my own property to make it self sufficient as it would then cover its own expenses, or should I charge the regular full price for cleaning and pay myself the entire cost for cleaning to boost my income?

Haha it’s not as bad as you think but that is a renewable energy source.

Word on the street is that Split systems (common in . . . . a LOT of places other than the US) operate at a lower energy consumption rate per heating unit and cooling unit. 

I currently work in the energy sector, but my ultimate goal is to become financially independent through real estate.

@Anastasia MonroTo achieve financial independence in real estate, focus on boosting savings, improving credit, getting pre-approved for a mortgage, searching for properties with high rental demand, researching local laws and regulations, building a team, staying educated, preparing for property maintenance and management, and being patient and persistent.
