If you have smokers in there, use a regular Swizzle floor mop (I think that's what it's called-- the ones with the replaceable cleaning pad) to scrub the cabinets and walls-- takes most of the nicotine right off.  

There used to be a smoker there because when I sprayed the windows, yellow liquid ran down. 

I do not allow smokers.

I think it is the law that every home in Texas has a backyard grill.

The only one I made money on was a sports grill that burned down-------THREE times!

You're limiting your rental market by saying "no smoking," but there's no way I would rent to smokers either now.

When buying larger apartment buildings sellers expect to be grilled on every point when selling because it is a large purchase with high stakes.A seller that is objecting to everything you are asking for is hiding something or when they only give partial info they are trying to emphasize the positive and hide the negative.A seller has a right to vet you the buyer as well before releasing information.

I was working as a waiter/bartender at Chili’s Bar and Grill and that's when Jackie offered to tell me how to get started in real estate investing.

No smokers especially if you rent furnished.

Our family once had to prepare a smoker's place for sale.
