:mrgreen: According to my maintenance guy they are going to get a new air conditioner this summer, because he feels that my current unit is about to die.

The thermal camera is great for detecting air leaks in the house, missing insulation, and other energy related issues.

A good idea is to change the air filter every 3 months and use that time to inspect the premises.

Provide and maintain the following items in a rental premises in good and safe working condition, if provided on the premises at the time the rental agreement is entered into: Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems.

The plan was to live off of one and take the other one to invest, so if all of the buy and holds were vacant we could pay the mortgage with that income, so no pressure to take a bad renter or have any concern about missed payments, giving us the ability to screen better and have better less drama, then take the income from when they are rented and pour it and any extra on the one with the smallest mortgage and take that and roll it to the next smallest, rinse and repeat, because a paid for rental will cash flow like a mother and with no risk of foreclosure.

--Upon move out back to FL from VA, they have continually attempted to contact the realtor or us to try to pressure getting the property rented.

If she was present and you knocked, she permitted you to come in you have no problem.She sounds like a problematic tenant, and I would non-renew her at my first chance, if she ever tried to pressure me with such a letter.I would not respond to the letter.I'd keep the names of the workers that were there to have if she does file a complaint.

And she kept pressuring you to sign up? 

Bellingham is feeling the pressure from investors coming from the south.
