I would print this out and give it to the tenant: https://www.countryliving.com/uk/homes-interiors/interiors/news/a1511/how-get-rid-of-moths/I've never known anyone who had a moth issue in their house so I did some research and I would tell the renters to keep their food in plastic containers/the fridge and make certain there isn't any open food/crumbs in the pantry.

Hey everyone I am Ryan from Tyler, Tx I am a real Estate Photographer as-well as a freelance photographer in the custom automotive world, but being around real estate and listening to BP podcast has really lite a fire for me and my wife to want to invest in the Short Term rentals. our plan is to use our equity from our home now to pick up a Vacation rental in the smokies, we are in Texas so I really looked at Broken Bow, Ok originally but that market has sky rocketed in price way out of our budget. once we get the vacation home producing a income, we plan to do some fixing up to our townhome to turn it into a medium term rental for nurse and collage students since we are a 10/15 min drive from both here locally. for some of you veteran investors does this sound like a proper way of going about getting our foot in the door of our investing?
