After I was done there was no hint of smoke smell, in fact all I could smell was the new carpet.

It may be a stereotype, but the homeless are often mentally handicapped, and some are battle-scarred veterans, well-versed in the use of their own weapons.  

So, CPI is only half the battle

The battlefield is how much you offer vs. how much they are willing to accept.Once you do this phase 2, you leveled the battle field.

Especially if you go out of state, you are losing big bucks to the PM's who rrip you off and laugh on the way to the bank plus your rentals will accumulate a very bad smell due to the nonperformance of your PM's who totally ignore the occupants and dont even know they're stuffing the property with squatters.

What are they seeing that makes them say no.Gang members, Gang Graffiti (vs tagging), shoes hanging from the power lines, a lot rain ruined flower and candle memorials with weathered photo's of those mowed down in street battles?

Home is an oldie however, with the past three days of rain and standing empty for a year or two, no water, no mold smells. kinda cool.Needs TLC.

I think I'm wiser and can see the writing on the wall and smell a crash coming.

Now there are different people coming and going all the time, nobody says "Hi", loud music late at night, pot smoke smells drifting into our yard, random people sitting in their car in front of our house running their engines for hours while they talk on the phone, permanent dumpster on a residential street etc.

Good luck proving in court a urine smell, would you bring a carpet sample?
