You can sell it for even more than regular electricity that comes out of the wall, because it's "green".

Since you plan on keeping the property as a rental you don't have to worry as much about the cost of borrowing eating into your profits as someone who's going to flip the property would.If the seller owns the property free and clear you could do the same thing, but partnering with them instead.

May have to eat some of the cost, lesson learned and put a no smoking policy in your leases, as well as letting the current tenants know when their leases expire, they will no longer be allowed to smoke inside the unit

It quickly eats into your profit with a few properties.2.

Look me up if you want to grab a coffee or a bite to eat tonight.

I traded it for a 20-unit building in the Central Valley, which proceeded to eat my lunch for the next ten years.  

Same rules apply for flying first class, staying in a 5 star hotel or eating at the best restaurants.

Everything in the outlined green is in Palmdale. 

Seal off any entry points.I highly doubt it came with the tenant - this isn't a 1/8" cockroach.Also, don't consider the rent in this - you should have rented it broom-clean and free of infestation irregardless of what you charge compared to the market.If it got in in that one month, find out how, seal it up to prevent others, and kill the occupants (the rats, not your tenants).As far as the timing of their complaint vs. response- yes they are unreasonable, and now they can eat the cost of THEIR exterminator.
