Man the rental market is smoking hot here, at least for quality properties.

we used the extra blown in insulation to fill in the crawlspace under the kitchen and under the bathroom.I used the foam in a can to seal all the light mounts and smoke detector mounts with firestop and I am happy to say the house is more quiet and the heat pump does not struggle anymore! 

Pretty sure I just sent a rental app to an email address that translates to, "I manage hookers and smoke weed!"

When you invest in abandoned properties you can get a smokin’ hot deal, or find yourself getting smoked.

On the other hand, I wonder if the tenants smoking crack could have anything to do with it?

A lack of character and judgement is what led to the bills not being paid; what leads to buying beer and cigarettes before paying the rent; treating animals like they are disposable toys; etc.

You don't think they were blowing smoke on the valuation in hopes that maybe I would list with them upon completion?!

We do it for a few reasons:It's to see if there are any Lease violationsWe make sure smoke/carbon and fire extinguisher are workingWe make sure place isn't so filthy it's going attract pestsWe make note of anything nearing the end of it's useful life.Then this report gets sent to the owners and we keep a copy.

They then split up, one moved out, we allowed a sublet, that person started smoking in the house, followed by hiding pets in the house.

I tend to see stolen light bulbs, smoke detectors, hydraulic door closers (yes), shower curtains and shower curtain rods, toilet paper spindles, medicine cabinet glass/wood shelves, window blinds, they also tend to break ceiling fans.
