Surely you don't think that housing should be treated differently than any other product or service in this country; cars, clothes, boats, electronics, jewelry etc......

Similar to when you bring a 24 pack of clothes hangers home thinking that you will always have enough hangers from here on out, only to find yourself looking for a hanger 2-3 weeks later because more of your wife's clothes found there way onto them. 

Also, is this a C/D class property, where the tenant will be ok with the inconvenience of using coins for washing and drying clothes?

And one needs to understand that most of these folks are the complete opposite of hoarders.. they have very few possessions.. big screen TV  couch  kitchen table many times just mattress on floor and cloths on the floor in the corner.. nothing in the back yard nothing in the garage. etc.. so they can move in a matter of hours.. where as here in the northwest were rentals are not nearly as available and certainly not for under 600 fico and section 8..

I went to the property on the 5th to find that she left some valuable items and property keys but removed clothing, furniture and other items.

Several don’t. 3 bids are not enough if you are finding GCs from yelp / ads / maxable events... they’re all cut from the same cloth and not representative.

I'd be willing to bet that if I asked you to show up on a new acquisition you'd be there next week in work clothes ready to trade your sweat for knowledge.Sadly, I can't even begin to give you what you want in a BP post.

@Joe Splitrock @Jim K.Thanks for the continued support.Today we removed all the sellers belongings- furniture, electronics, clothes etc.

I mean, they left the cabinets and refer full of perfectly good food; closets full of clothes and shoes; alarm clocks; only things they seemed to take with them were laptops and one or two suitcases of clothing.

Do you have a sump pump or clothes washer in the basement?
