Just to get the smell out you are going to have to pull just about everything that can be moved and rest will have to be cleaned with detergent and hot water.I had to wash window screens on a flip I did.  

It was mildly irritating, especially for someone who's understands how this works, but it wasn't so bad that it made the program pointless or of no value. 

When the climate is mild the place is always booked.Just some thoughts for you to digest.Good luck!

HOWEVER, I deliberatetly make consciuos efforts to SLOW it down as it tends to blind your reasoning power when investing....To put it mildly, emotion is NOT good for investment decisions.....Its like making a decision after a couple of drinks.....You need crystal clear head and mind to make the right investment decision....Congratulations on your decision to invest, but, slow it down.......My one cent! 

I didn't have the best experience dealing with them to say it mildly.

Once there is a proof of concept and you experience some mild success she will likely come around.

I was in NY the night Lehman died having dinner with some reasonably senior GS folks--I used to raise money from them--and they were to put it mildly, concerned.

It was unusual but the reputation of the school provided a protective halo so it became a neutral/mild positive.

Looking at this another way, I could buy it on a 10 year fixed am/term, pay the note off in the primary lease period with mildly positive cash flow, then be sitting on massive cash flow with no mortgage for the 15 year option terms and beyond if the tenant re-leases.

I'm sure I can't do it justice, but if I understand it correctly, it essentially means doing necessary, structural, and/or unsexy work only (e.g. windows, framing or exterior work, plumbing, etc.) on deeply discounted properties.I believe the idea then is to market these mildly discounted properties as blank canvases for home buyers or traditional rehabbers who choose their own finishing touches.My question is to Realtors or anyone with experience doing this; is this something can be sold to home buyers who aren't necessarily looking for it?
