The app kept crashing

Hello BP,We recently acquired a condo in  Falls Church,VA area through court house for flipping.The owner/occupant was a old lady did not move out after we purchase the unit.While we are in legal process to get possession, i received a call from the HOA today that the neighbors of this unit observed a foul smell and called the police to see what is going on.we are breaking the lock as soon police arrive and get into the property.The smell could be from the leftover food or could be anything.To prepare for a worst case, i am trying to understand how to deal with the situation and get some affordable master cleaner referrals.Thank you,Vinod.

I was hoping city would force tenant out, but that does not seem to be the case until bulldozer arrives.

If ever questioned, you will need to explain how you arrived at a reasonable salary; simply saying 50/50 won't do.

We plan to cash out refi to buy other properties but we'll see how the economy goes as we don't want to get overleveraged, esp if a crash is coming.

Thus, I think they have set us up for another crash of breath taking proportions. 

For the rest of your life, every time you try to uphold his memory, there's a small sarcastic voice in the back of your head that reminds you that he knew less than nothing about money.By pure dumb luck & juvenile arrogance, I made sure that would never happen, by encouraging my Dad to buy a couple of short sale properties during the crash 8 years ago. 

I agree its hard to maintain disciplinary but we dont have a choice unless we want to die if and when a crash comes. 

I have 4 SFR that are just standard rentals.My other 5 soon to be 6, closing on Friday are crash pads for airline crews.
