This is truly a shame.

I've even seen tenants get high-maintenance breeds that bark, shed, dig, scratch, and otherwise behave in a manner that is more likely to cause stress than reduce it.It's all a sham.

It's a shame this question went unanswered.

BP even gave them a pod cast but once BP learned of this carnage they took it down.. so good for them.the local Pm's there are doing their best.. but they are not miracle workers. you basically own a home that a wholesaler sold Morris or Ocean pointe for 5 to 15k max and then they sold it to you for a big profit. don't beat yourself up there are litterally hundreds who as others have said got conned by this company they have since started selling in Jacksonsville FLA and i hear the same stuff .. and other markets.the Model is buy the absolute cheapest homes in the absolute worst markets.. then sell to sight unseen investors at a dollar amount that is so low as to get folks guard down.. then for whatever reason when rehab funds are sent the houses are not rehabbed.. there has been claims by others that rent was even paid on vacant houses. giving the buyers the illusion that they had a finished product and secure investment.. only to find out it was a sham.. house vacant and trashed.. the buyers really need to do a public service and shout this from the roof tops along with other remedies of law.. this is giving a very bad image of what out of state investing can be.. it hurts the good people in the business.

It would be a shame to sell while prices are appreciating as you said, and if interest rates come down in the future you could potentially lower your payment substantially.

It's a shame people get ripped off handing their money over in real estate deals as it keeps some people from taking the first step to investing (which is why I control all my properties and would never hand my money over to someone else - just a personal choice).

The whole state gets painted in a negative light by the national media, which is a shame for those of us that live here.

And for those that refer to people with disabilities as being scammers, you should be ashamed of yourself as you’re trying to scam more rent out of your tenants for having a pet.

Was hoping for an easier solution.We plan on selling the property for $600-$650/sf so any solution that doesn't completely eradicate the smell will not be sufficient.Its a shame though the current hardwoods have great character and are in good shape aside from the smell.

The systems structure is a shame, and quite frankly simply a ploy to keep money in the hands of advisors, insurance companies and money managers.I am happy to help in any way I can (am located in Pittsburgh but work with people across the country), but if looking to find a planner more local to your market maybe the best way to find a fiduciary, fee-only planner who has experience in real estate would be to go to NAPFA and use their "Find an Advisor" tool.
