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?

There are some trash bags of stuff such as books, an old couch, an old mattress, some clothes and some old family portraits. 

You need hand towels, wash cloth and large size towels, 2 for each guest or more. 

Any advice on what to leave vs. put away (i.e. family photos, clothes in closets, kids toys, etc)- We have a large house and could sleep 15-20 people.
