Driveway, walkway, maybe power wash the exterior? 

In your case you'd probably want to show a rationale that you were willing to hold on to this property but something happened and a property you'd been waiting on for a long time came available unexpectedly.   

I focus on construction technology, CRM (Microsoft Dynamics 365), project efficiencies, and business operations (Microsoft Power Platform, Power BI, Power Automate, Power Apps). 

If the problem persists you can add a “spinner” or perhaps a powered fan to forcibly draw air out that way rather than into your bathroom.

The power of decision-making will rest with the deal manager, typically a large institution.

NOTE: Did not factor rental appreciation, property appreciation, inflation, etc. so don't beat me up on the numbers BP :) This is just to show the power of building HH stack and leveraging dept.

Realize your purchasing power.2.

Call your credit card companies and negotiate a reasonable rate for additional buying power. 

Its crazy right now with landlords having no power and fear tenants will just stop paying rent at anytime but we just need to ride the wave and survive until courts gave some power back.

You make an great point, to keep stashing cash aside to prepare for the unavoidable "unexpected" costs of physical REI.
