And depending on your level of infestation this can last for days.For a vacant SFH where you don't have to worry about pushing the bugs to other units, gas-bomb it heavily, wait a couple days, and clean thoroughly to remove the residue.

For VA, as long as you meet the residual income guideline you can go well over the debt to income ratio.

I’m on the buyer list of probably +300 wholesalers in our markets and I have a VA filtering them out (too time consuming), 95% are junk we filter out in 2 minutes, on the residual 5% we squeeze 1 to 2 deals per months.

I've heard from a few people they are going through the whole process for less than 10 K and making a handful of cash and some residual income on the note sale.

I was under the impression marijuana left no residual smell and cigarettes do.

. $100K is nice but taxes stink and residual income is more important when its all said and done.

But they have been fired and have residue on the inside.

If you are looking at a $15k renovation, keeping them where they are for the next year while you build your residual may not be that bad. 

If you buy used, you need to check for hazardous chemical residue in the unit, if you want to use for housing. 

Got that jetted and cleared, but now have a messy residue left behind.
