The weather outside also plays a factor (the upper 70s seems to be the sweet spot) but I have identified the windows being the key factor.Has anyone else had an issue where leaving the windows open creates some sort of air pressure differential that pulls a smell out of the walls?

If not, they can identify what service provider you need to call in.

Identify the market in which you want to invest and commit some of your free time to studying rental rates, property prices, real estate strategies, cap rates, etc.

I work a lot with clients in identifying their values to help them shape goals & boundaries, and to work through their old 'stories,' patterns & blocks, so this is a superb addition, thanks again.

It says the tenant is supposed to identify rodent problems in the first 10 days and then they accept responsibility for pest control after that.

If it's identifiable, then fix the leak and see what the impact is on your bill.

Do you have any advice on how to identify legitimate wholesalers?

Even if you are locked in, I would still encourage you to identify your target market and property type.

HI @Rahul Challapalli, I didn't see a question in your post so I'll just throw out my 2 centavos and see what you think:The factors you've identified are true and 2-4 SHOULD/MAY reduce over the coming years (subject to a lot of different variables)  BUT .  . . . this is straight up speculation and NOT investing.That is a prudent determination to make because speculation has its place in each of our portfolios, but because speculation inherently tries to look at what the market  will do and not what the market has done or is doing it can lead folks to think they are investing (standard risk profiles for a certain asset class) and actually be speculating (higher profit potential and correspondingly higher risk). 

If you have already identified the replacement or still looking for it, planning to buy multiple?
