I'm very grateful and excited to be here and for the next chapter in my life

You have some life experience under the belt and are looking to push the train faster.The more investors you know in real life, the more opportunities that present themselves.

I think this would make sense in the long run for the rental property as it will extend the life of everything it touches like the Sink, faucets, showers, water heater, dishwasher, and Clothes washer while also providing clean drinking water in addition to the reverse osmosis drinking water system I already have installed.The main problem with this hardness level is that we get a major deposit buildup on all of these items, which will eventually clog up the faucets for tenants and lead to rusty shower enclosures that take forever to clean.In addition to this, it looks like we could likely have the salt added every couple of months by the property managers in addition to that it would allow for a quick inspection from them, and then also we would instead bill the cost of the service onto the ledger for the tenants.For reference, it does not look like the landlords in the area have water softeners.Thank you everyone for your input ahead of time.

You do not want to go cheap on this, especially when it's for life safety. 

The fight is business life cycle and unemployment.

I've had success with 2 short-term rentals, and wanted one more in relative close range to work and life.

I do think they need success and life experience in whatever you're trying to learn.Gino

The lure to get the first deal can be so high that you leverage your entire life savings and beyond into a project where you don't know how to do anything.

If I had just called a couple different handymen for quotes, the issue would have been fixed sooner and more professionally.In conclusion, if you want to spend a nontrivial sum each month to make your life more difficult and your work more annoying, Latchel is one way of doing that.

I would not be bothered by this issue unless they are all end of life.
