A product called KILZ does a nice job of encapsulating the odors but you have to paint everything.

One of the biggest challenges you are going to have is removing the odor, especially considering the amount of time that has past since the fire.

I previously toured the house with a realtor, it has been uninhabited for probably 2-3 years now, has a nasty pet related odor inside.

We usually use an air scrubber to catch particulates in the air and your commercial venders have access to machines like a hydroxyl or ozone to help with the odor.

More fees to the government, more profits to the title companies.Most of the folks I know only do three or less fix-and-flips a year, fewer if they're serious rehabs due to time frames and resource constraints.I think a lot of states are finding legislative ways to "get on the REI gravy train", driven by cries of "foul" and "fraud".

You're not necessarily putting a lot of money out to secure a deal, and if you can't resell to an investor, then you can cancel the contract - no harm, no foul.

I believe the tenant's family member also applied an odor/stain blocker after the pad was removed.

I've done the tub refinishing in several apartments,, usually warranty is 1 year.. you can expect to refinish again in 5 years if it gets heavy use.I've paid about 360 a tub. and is done in one day for 1 tub.Really strong odor..They also do the ceramic tile surround for about 200 more. which turned out SUPER. 

I think the only time they would investigate is if they suspect foul play or a crime.
