If it's a rental, I would just stain it a really dark color.

They did not install any carbon or smoke detectors. 

That is a smoking rate.  

Smoke gets everywhere.

. ;) Travel, start a business, smoke a j, maybe all 3 lol.

I called the realtor I was working with prior to getting the deals from the wholesaler and told her to withdraw all three offers I placed on good properties(which are no longer available by the way) as I had a smoking deal on these two duplexes.  

My current home wouldnt pass the current code ( no house wrap , not enough insulation in the ceiling , walls now have to be 2 by 6 ,  dryer has to be 4 wire , not 3 wire , smoke detectors have to be hard wired ,  fire sprinklers)   I dont have to change a thing , if I did it would be a small fortune . 

I had a tenant that created a fire (mostly smoke and water damage from a fire sprinkler). 

My thought is, "sacrifice now and a couple years from now I'll be driving something that smokes the Maxima."

Would of loved to stay local but with what I have (time and finances) at moment to invest and the smoking hot sellers market here I will look at the great cash flow markets for Buy, Hold and rent out of town.
