Thanks @Elizabeth Colegrove , yeah right now I'm estimating about $80000 to rehab but I'd like the seller to get it to the point where I can send contractors/inspectors in. 

Hi all! This is my first non introductory post. 

I've been visiting properties today and I went into one where the owner mentioned that the person who lived there was a "bit of a hoarder". Well the result was interesting to say the least.

I've never seen anything like it before. Trash was almost a foot deep everywhere, it REEKED of pet urine, rotting food, several full litter boxes, and a dining room literally covered in some sort of... feces... 

I couldn't really get in to estimate repairs and the owner lives out of state and doesn't know what to do with the place. How do I get something like that cleaned? I don't even know where to start!

Thanks!

@Charles Nguyen Thanks! That sounds great! Is there something special on the website to do to get notifications about the meetup or join the meetup? 

Thanks @Dmitriy Fomichenko I really appreciate it. This is a lot of information. I'll get on this right away! Sorry, I've been out of pocket trying to get a few leads under contract.

Thanks @Bradley Marine , @Paul Timmins for the tips and support. Brad, I think I may already be on your mailing list! Great to see you're on BP. 

Paul, I think that's a great idea. It will be interesting to see what happens with the downturn in oil price though as oil services pull back due to decreased spending. I'm hoping it won't affect the housing market.

Hi @leslie a. Thanks for the welcome! I haven't searched yet but is there a Houston BP meet up?

Thanks for the welcome. @Elizabeth Colegrove and @Ron Collins thanks for the tips! I think I set up my signature properly! Let's see.

Thanks for the warm welcome Jeremy and Tim! I'm looking forward to getting to know people in this community. Being surrounded by more like minded individuals certainly makes everything easier and more real.

Hi everyone! My name is Tim Shin, I've been working on wholesale deals for 3 months now and may be close to a couple of deals but I have lots of questions and inexperience. I got some Rich Dad Elite training in Wholesale so I know enough to be dangerous. 

I've just returned to Houston from Austin for work in the oil industry. I want to raise some cash to get in to some rehabs and cash flow properties so that ultimately I will be cash flow positive with my life expenses. I want to eventually invest in apartment complexes and be able to quit my job and travel the world with my wife and take care of my family and our retirement. 

I attend the Cashflow game in Houston put on by RICH and met Scott and Libertad who suggested I join Bigger Pockets!
