There's always going to be buzz kills out there, blow em off.Also ignore quora The 80/20 example is the Pareto principle Moore's law is transistors double on a chip, and hardware halfs in cost every 2 years.

Then, what happens is the occupant's furniture and small carpets acts as a filter and the odor goes away.When I use a vacuum with a Hepa filter to clean items that do not contain asbestos or mold I connect a hose to the exhaust side of the vacuum and extend that hose to outside the building as long as you are not blowing the air in a neighbor's window and not close to something you should not get contaminated.

If you don't like the heat, you can look to buy something on the East Coast of Florida where the Tropical winds blow.

Here is my devil's advocate view: I live in Cincinnati, and in the areas I follow, nothing in this price point stays active for more than 24 hours, even with full cosmetic repairs.  

If the lawn is reasonably small you shouldn't be paying over $50/mo for a mow/blow.

Henry Clark has recently been blowing up the forums with all kinds of details and sharing of his knowledge and experience.  

I only have 150k and would like to spend it conservatively without blowing it all away.

But if you just want a mow and blow, let the tenant pay for it or do it themselves.  

But, I like seeing the bigger picture and really appreciate the devils advocate approach.
