This is a probate situation and the property, a townhome, is DEEPLY distressed from cat urine and filth. 

I have a carpet cleaner that I use, but even after a few weeks I can still smell the dog urine on the stair landing where my dog peed the last time.

It's possible the wood has absorbed the urine.

We do allow small dogs, but not cats (that urine is killer), and we would consider allowing a larger dog dependent on how an interview goes.I also want to give you thanks as a veteran for defending our country and for all the sacrifice you've given to keep us safe here at home. 

Account Closed - We haven't explored relationship building yet, but the current house was supposed to be a cosmetic fixer upper (last tenants destroyed it with cigarette smoke, pet urine, and general filth).

Replacing the carpets is an expectation for almost every unit we rent even when the carpets were brand new when the tenant moved in and even when the tenant was in the apartment for only one year.Personally, I hate carpets with a passion and when you consider the crap that carpets collect they should be against the law to rent an apartment with carpets more than one year old that contain who knows what when dogs clean their butts by dragging across carpets, animals urinate and poop on them, people spill, walk on them with poop on their shoes and who knows what kind of crazy sex people had on the carpets.Take a white bedsheet, put it on your floor where you walk into your home and look at what is on that bedsheet within just a couple hours.

To overcome such hurtle is to provide evidence the motivation why you choose to purchase property for such distance especially if your current residence is within the minimal (ex: 5 - 30 min drive) vs. your purchasing a home that is 3 hours drive one way and 6 hours total round trip in your motivation letter.

There is also urine and feces on the ktichen floor from their dog.

But I would I could also use the hlep of some professionals (attorneys, accountatns, and lenders) that can help manage the cross boarder investing hurtles we're about to take on.  

Lots of urine stains from pets which the smell caused us to depart after 2 min (I worked at a animal shelter, been in a room with 40+ dead cats but the AC was working, this condo was up there being vacant min 8 months)My agent's rehab estimate is $40K, I'm overshooting to cover bad pipes, interior beams need to be cut out and replaced, new hvac, etc so $75K.
