So I start with myself: Would I ever give someone an Option to Purchase one of my Properties for Half price and Seal the Deal with $1.?

Use that lien as a negociating tool and seal the deal.  

Now that combined with your UNDYING preoccupation with traditional financing issues in wholesaling, just really seals it for me in questioning your understanding of wholesaling.

If you are renting, just make sure it is sealed/repainted with new paint.

@Heather W.Thanks Heather..that gives me a ballpark figure..also based on what I read, it seems like a good practice to seal gaps if any in the attic first before doing the fiber glass blowing.

But I THINK that you use a type of screw that has a rubber gasket type washer, and seal the overlaps of the panels with silicon.

Be prepared to replace carpeting and pads and sealing subfloors if the animals do their number on your flooring.3.  

We bleached(almost killed my wife-not diluted enough),sanded, and sealed.

long story short, insurance took care of most of it, but it took about 5 months [ shouldn't have] During this time the bottom floor was totally sealed off and our tenants all stayed upstairs and paid half rent. so, we actually wound up losing some money on renting our home.my question is, can the money lost in our rental be deducted BEFORE figuring our social security taxes on our shop?  

Depending on what we decide to do with the current floor plans - the kitchens are tiny (upstairs is 8x8) - we may take all external walls back to the studs and properly insulate and air-seal the envelope (likely with closed cell foam as I expect there to be limited wall cavity space).
