Purchased a rat-infested house in northeast Cape Coral, FL with an overwhelming odor.

My wife and I are starting our property investment journey a little later in life (in our 40s), but we're committed to leaving the rat race and finding that financial freedom.

Also his Rat Race 2 Retirement later this month.On Eventbrite you can find Jorge Abreau's Elevate Meetup on the 13th.Both are excellent networking opportunities.Cashflow will depend on your leverage and operating skills. 

The property had a prior renovation and currently has no problem tenants, but I’ve had a few unexpected expenses — $3,000 for a rat issue and $2,200 for damages left by a departing tenant.I also experienced a bad property manager who left one unit vacant for 4 months while I was deployed.

Brome grassseeded and grass mats applied to shoulders of driveways.

Everything would be insulated and I would have a rat slab and heating/ac down there as well.

She makes a big fuss about them- even has a cat mat in front of the apartment, and on.   

Looking forward to getting out of this particular rat race I am in right now. back in the day before the GFC I was the largest HML in the Jackson MS / Hinds county market So I spent a lot of time there..

Duvet covers, blankets and bath mats cleaned every time.
