I need advice about a hoarder house

[Robert Fitzgerald]

I am about to buy a hoarder house and need some advice. It's about as nasty as they come, I couldn't go in the house without a respirator. Does anyone know how to get the smell of cat urine and feces out of a house? The walls are plaster so I may be able to save them. Please let me know if there are any tips or tricks to getting this done. The house currently has Hardwoods and I would like to try to save them but I'm thinking the smell may be down in between the boards. I would prefer to rent and hold long-term because it is near the new Mercedes-Benz North American headquarters here in Sandy Springs, Georgia but if it is beyond repair I'm thinking about flipping the house to a builder as a teardown. Does anyone have a good purchase contract that has an assignability clause that will work in Georgia? Or can you point me to a website that will have it? Thanks, Bob

@Robert Fitzgerald, I bought a foreclosure sight unseen. I opened the door and the property was packed with boxes floor to ceiling. The cat smell was eye watering, to make it worst the property was boarded up for 4 yrs. The prior owner was a shut-in and was addicted to the home shopping network. Most all of the packages was various products, from rings to microwaves. Products un-sellable do to the stench. I stripped the interior, treated the floors and walls with a odor control products, primed and painted. Which blocked the smell, until I returned to the property a week later and opened the door to a new smell, which was a combination of cleaners, primer, paint and cat urine. That same day I was complaining to a neighbor about the smell and the neighbor then told me that the prior owner's husband passed away in the backroom, was left there for over a week and this was in Las Vegas in summer time at 110 degrees.  Now we don't buy any cat smelly homes. I was able to sell the property to another out of state investor site unseen :).
