Over the years you'll decide which battles you'd like to fight.I approach active investing like a business, 1 of many S.O.P.'

Bin Zinsser makes products to cover over cigarette nicotine stains and smells.

Networking in real estate can feel like an uphill battle.

We invested a large amount of money believing we’d be working with those we know helped us get started only to be stuck in between a sales battle.

A Pre-foreclosure listing just means somehow, Zillow/realtor/Trulia or wherever, gets notice (or even just smells) that a property is potentially been giving a foreclosure notice.

Im currently battling the same problems as anonymous.

Then there is one on the wall to the left of it, which I hate opening since it opens to the patio of my neighbors apartment where she keeps 5 little dogs, so opening it only fills the hot living room with the smell of dog urine.

Tenant let dog live in garage for a year.now smell won't come out of garage floor.

"Something smells good" 

That's a rough area Tim......You're going to be dealing with an uphill battle getting quality folks to take on a property like that one.
