I didn’t connect it initially but now I’m thinking this is due to the home trapping moisture and that this is causing the odor. 

If not, go back to square one.Since you have experience, you are likely falling into the trap of overthinking based on your lack of confidence with the financial projection part of the deal, but it's not as important as your knowledge.You need to know the true value of the target, the potential ARV, and you already know the rehab costs.

Hello Seeking recommendations for a property management firm in Tucson Az experienced in Sect 8 tenancy.Regards,

Now the home sits for 3 extra months.Here’s what that really costs you:· $8,250 in added interest (on a $300K loan at 11%)· 3 more months of trapped capital (can't reinvest)· 3 more months of market risk (rates rise, values drop)What you saved on staging or strategy, you’re now paying in carry cost and missed momentum.

Trade or business activities are activities, other than rental activities or activities that are treated under § 1.469-1T(e)(3)(vi)(B) as incidental to an activity of holding property for investment, that—(i) Involve the conduct of a trade or business (within the meaning of section 162);(ii) Are conducted in anticipation of the commencement of a trade or business; or(iii) Involve research or experimental expenditures that are deductible under section 174 (or would be deductible if the taxpayer adopted the method described in section 174(a)).

Even if the home seems dry on the surface, I’d double-check for things like a slow leak inside a wall, under the sink base, or even behind the dishwasher or fridge (like the drip pan) — more like trapped humidity in wall voids or cabinets.You’ve clearly done a ton already, and I really hope you get a breakthrough soon!

The tech apparently did an inspection and noticed a small gap between the back French doors where insects could be getting in (we'll address that).

Prudent financial planning suggests setting a threshold ROE as a goal.When your ROE drops below your threshold, it signals the time to extract “trapped” equity and place it into another investment with a higher return.

I would do similar due diligence on the operator and any other sites they may have, personally I may also go secret shop those centers to understand if they are actually doing CBD or just marketing that and actually running a "trap shop" under the blanket of CBD or "THCA", while you likely won't have much issue legally given its Cali, but I've seen many of these shops pop up in my market since legalization and the farm bill, and I'd just want to know if I was getting that as cliental or like actually a CBD wellness yoga type place.

But leaning too heavily on cap rates for development decisions is a trap.
