How important the A/C is will depend on where your rental property is located and how hot the temps get there and how many months the hot weather lasts.I would just include replacing the filters as a bonus to the tenant.Filters say they last 3 months but really it is not true.This is especially if you have a smoker or a tenant with pets.What happens is air filters should be replaced if the cheap ones about every month to 2 months max.Expensive ones you can go up to 2 months.If you wait 3 as more dirt is attached to the filter it restricts air flow and won't pull in as much dirt.When this happens less air will flow through the vents and the tenant will turn the unit down more and the resistance will make the motor work harder and wear out faster.I was having this happen in my house.A/C unit is 9 years old.When it gets in the high 90's here the A/C unit was getting in the 80's.Has an A/C guy come out.I had the old analog mercury switch A/C thermostat which is off by as much as 5 to 6 degrees sometimes the guy told me.I use the Filtrete Ultra Allergen because we have 5 cats and was replacing filter every 3 months (cost about 17 bucks a filter).The A/C guy explained about air flow and that I need to replace filter every month.The high end filter will catch more particles he said and when you keep them replaced they are fine every month.If you wait the 3 months it will reduce the air flow to much with the dirt it catches.So I replaced the filter and he also checked my free on level which was fine but my coils needed cleaning.He just basically took a hose and cleaned it out after turning power off and before the 100 dollar bill was not sticking to the coil halfway to the bottom.After cleaning the bill was sticking to the coil everywhere.He said it's important that when the heat comes out the coil can cool it properly before it goes back in the house.I bought the electronic thermostat myself for 25 bucks and took out the mercury one.Now with it being 95 outside it is holding at 73 degrees just fine.So I would replace filter every 2 months at the most to preserve the motor and help air flow.On some properties the builder installed too small of duct lines for the air flow and run to the vents anyways so any little air flow restriction will make the unit hard to keep cool in the hot weather.Probably too much info but thought I would share.Hope it helps.

This whole process can be two years long, and that's another major issue.Of course, all of this completely disregards monetary policy, which is equally important, if not moreso given the power of the Fed today and the relative gridlock thanks to partisan politics and general idiocy within the legislature.I would say that it's just my two cents, but I wrote enough to say about $12 trillion worth.

Hmmm, Mitch, your disclosure is totally meaningless, ALL sales contracts are subject to the seller providing good title, it's in the TREC.It is assumed and implied that the seller has merchantable title to property to sell it, my son may have an "equitable" interest to my property, it doesn't give him the right to adverties it for sale as he lacks the power of sale!

They say maybe 1 to 2 years.I say give it a few more years and you will hit burn out if you don't scale back.A few years later they have left the business all together,scaled back and pace themselves,or are still teetering on burnout and are divorced,etc. with their life in shambles.My Uncle invented the Goof-Off cleaner.Became wealthy and then went through a really nasty divorce and money and power got to him for about 10 years after that.As he got older he finally changed and realized money wasn't everything just the experiences and memories in life that you cherish.Don't be a slave to money.Use it as a vehicle to reach your dreams in life but don't worship it because the true things you value will be gone if you do.
