I've been in homes that smelled pretty good on the day of move-out but two days later reeked of animals or smoke!

There seems to be a lot of interest for rehabbing homes in the area and the gentrification of downtown is slowly spreading, but not someplace I'd like to be after dark.

I encourage you to do the research yourself but from the what I remember reading, HUD says the only thing that needs to be changed is the drywall and the smoke detectors.

 (9 years total)-Even though he promised he would never smoke in the house, he confessed he would sometimes smoke in the bathroom with the fan on when it was too cold to go outside.  

Plus you'll need an agent in the remote market to run comps for you or you'll be shooting in the dark and likely to shoot yourself.I can't imagine buying a house site unseen.  

I'm not saying they need to live in a million dollar mansion, but something middle class and neat     Look at how they present themselves, are they somewhat clean cut and neat or are they toothless and chain smoking cigarettes?  

The building code may also want you to use some special caulk/sealer between the door frame and the wall, before you put the trim on; this caulk swells up when hot to block smoke and gases. 

Not unless I come accross a smoking deal.

This in common with people who smoke cigarettes.

DARK timber with big shadows means big trees.. light green is generally young timber or mixed species.. you want to concentrate on Doug fir and Cedar...
