Next week I will have to go back and check and seal the hole .      

we also have a record number of paid off properties which folks don't seem to be in a rush to sell.You are right, homeownership looks very stable at 65%, even tough data is from census, so take it with a grain of salt.

I leave salt and a shovel out for one of my tenants.

I have 2 large ceramic sealed jars full of various pods.

I know my experiences are very limited in the universe of all passive investment opportunities, so take with a grain of salt. 

I verify what it does and take what it gives me with a grain of salt, but I gave it the data that it's using and verified that data myself.

I take all analysis with a grain of salt, though, and do leverage rheometer API to doublecheck the rent assumptions.

i am exploring options in california as well I have some STR properties for sale 549- 579K range new built construction in the salt lake city UT market.

A few steps that have worked for me:Schedule simultaneous treatments in all units and common areas to break the life cycle.Have the pest control company do follow-up visits every 2–3 weeks until activity is fully gone.Send clear written communication to all tenants with prep instructions (clearing counters, sealing food, reducing clutter).Add regular preventive service to your operating budget; quarterly or bi-monthly visits can save a lot of stress.If you consistently see cooperation issues, you can document them and handle them as a lease compliance matter at renewal.

That’s what legally covers you in Florida.At this point, don’t overthink it — just keep things clean and documented: Hang onto that original envelope — keep it sealed and take a photo showing the certified label and postmark.
