What doesn't work is prematurely optimizing your toolset before experiencing the pain of not having it.  

I have a clause in my lease that states I pay for pest control within the first 30 days of occupancy, after that the tenant is responsible and I will refer my pest control guy to them.You probably need to assess the property and seal any holes (inside & outside) with the steel wool (shred it before stuff the hole-my pest control says that annoys the mice/rats gums and they stop chewing) , then seal with the spray foam.

Most of the dust then passes onto the motor causing early pre-mature failure and excessive build up.

I'm in CA where a half point rate savings equals hundreds of dollars a month in future cash flow (hence my premature answer)...

Yes, it's the old build your estate to pass on through life insurance theme.Life insurance is to transfer the financial risks of premature death....period.

I dont know if you are aware of this but if you have ever bought a car, clothing, a cell phone or a piece of gum the company that sold it to you made a profit.

Many investors are forced to sell prematurely and lose money, markets drop and properties end up upside down, **** happens.I can afford a infinite number of positive cash flow properties, negative cash flow not so much.

I left the company a few years later and they offered me a 50% raise if I stayed.Thinking back, maybe being pissed at Pace U was a little premature.

I was born about 50 years premature.

At the same time, I do agree with @V.G Jason on his perspective regarding premature W2 quitting.
