So I had time to think, and decided one of the things in the my acceptance/counter was that they would have clean up the residues, fumes, chemicals, and odors of the fragrance and toxic chemicals in the house, and come down to 170 or a bit less, maybe pay closing costs, all or half.

My goal is to be making $100,000 a month residual.

Probably need 10+ doors of good quality before the residual cash flow will amount to much more than "fun" money.I will say that if you are going to think of going out of state then make sure you establish a very good local team before buying anything and make sure they give you a very good idea of what you will be expecting.

My goal is to buy rentals for future residual passive income.

If there have been smokers resident in the house long term, you may end-up pulling/replacing sheet rock in some rooms {i.e. where they primarily smoked} to get rid of the residue.

The freedom of "controlling my own destiny" has contributed more to my happiness than anything else (including the residual income).

Residual income is something we'll have to indulge as investors if we're in it for the long haul(plan to retire in this business especially if retiring is a decade or more away).

i bought one house (forgot how long ago) that had an old, old carpet.. the walk areas of the carpet were so thin, that you could feel the hardwood underneath. when we went to take out the carpet and pad, the pad had deteriorated so much, that 90% of was turned into dust, the rest of it (10%) was glued to the hardwood underneath. it took us about a day with vinegar, water, and numerous different scrapers to try to peel the pieces and residue off. hosing down the floor would be a nice option. like a prison cell.

The residual commissions from sales helped smooth the transition.1 Wholesaling2 Baltimore3 Self financed, buy for $10K and sell for $40K didn't take a lot of money to do4 Perhaps 6-125 two years~6 Make enough money to put all the crooked politicians and judges in jail.

Hi Shaun,I posted on this before but can't find the post.If there is a hive attached to the house it is different than on a tree etc.If it's on exterior or interior wall.You will have to remove the wall of wood as well after the bee keeper comes out to clean out the bees.The wood (studs)will look clean but the residue on the studs will make the bees come back after you drywall up.So you replace the whole section where they were in the walls.
