Another concern, if you have an open sump liner(bucket) or one with gaping holes which allows you to see the water inside keep in mind that this accumulation of water is emitting vapor into the surrounding air.

We live in Modesto, California.We own a few rental properties in our hometown: Two single-family homes and a "mother-in-law" cottage that we list on Air BnB and is pretty much rented out continuously by traveling nurses.

I am a full-time aircraft mechanic in the Air Force reserve.

The site was an old air force base and when they decommissioned the base they sold off the homes to private citizens.   

I was stationed there for a few years when I was in the Air Force. 

They provide advance notice and check smoke alarms, air filters, deferred maintenance, for leaks, illegal activity and compliance with property condition terms of the lease.

I paid off our $280k mortgage in six years. Paid of $32k in student loans in 1 year. I flipped houses and purchased rental property while living overseas in the military. I currently own several rental properties debt...

Short term as in Air BnB style?

Against my advice, my friend is doing a "press to test" on withholding rent due to a broken air conditioner for the whole summer.

Then when our house is built, we can rent it out on Air BNB.
