Post: Cigarette Smell - how to remove?

Any tips on how to get cigarette smell out of house? I don’t smell it but a lot of potential buyers say they can and it’s not a good first impression. I think it must be in the carpet...maybe removing is the best bet. Looking for other suggestions. Thanks!

@Kelsi Dockins

This is awesome! How did you find your contractor and how’d you know you could trust them?

@Larry T.

From David’s BFFFF book he says “The problem with the traditional model is you leave so much equity in the deal when you are done that you can’t access this capital to buy the next property”

I’m confused on what he means by “leaving so much equity in the deal and you can’t access this capital for the next property”

Do you know why you can’t access that capital?

I'm starting to understand why BRRRR is so valuable however I am confused on why you can't borrow against you investment the same way in a "traditional" investment as you would the BRRRR method. For example: traditonal method - if you put 20k down on a 100k house, fix it up (put in another $30k) and refinance for $150k, then are you limited to a certain amount of the $150k you can out?

BRRRR method you will have to buy the house out right for $100k put another $30k to rehab (in for $130k) and refinance for $150k and you are allowed to take out 70% of the 130k you have in it, allowing you to put that money into another property?

I guess the disconnect is why can’t you do the same with the traditional method. Is it because the bank won’t give you the loan in the first example vs the second?

Does any of this make sense? Haha
