A thermocouple can be changed out in 3 minutes and can be tested as well .

(testing and application)I don't have the license but considering it.

Sometimes those sit there and wait never catch the bus and keep waiting for a good time and they miss the good timing because of the fear in the market.The sooner you start the sooner you succeed and make sure to do stress test on your deals for the dip.

I am sure your state has these guidelines outlined somewhere also.Yes, tenants will definitely test you as a young landlord.

Many software providers offer a free test drive. 

That test expired many years ago though.

Just be aware of your downside risk by testing what would happen if your rents decreased by say $100 a month or vacancy raised a bit and if you are still cash flowing or won't be put in a bad place then it would make sense for you to do it. 

But also, theres a great opportunity to test yourself and grow in ways safe investments dont necessarily bring to the table.

@Catherine MorelShe doesn’t sound like a motivated seller, she’s just testing the water.If you have comps send it to her and if she asks you how much you are willing to pay be prepare to have a price in mind.Congrats on your first response, you will have more opportunities..When possible try to find the reason for selling that will help you negotiate.

If you test I have to disclose and I have no idea who your tester is.
