Fear of being in debt and taking on risk in general....can be greatly mitigated, if not completed eradicated, by having clear exit strategies planned in advance.

.; cash for keys)--but again, you need to follow your local laws on this topic...but, it's worth studying up on whether there are legal ways of getting a tenant to leave other than the full eviction process (I suggest that ALL landlords familiarize themselves with this, even if they've never had an issue with a tenant).Once the tenant is out, rehab the property (which may include a deep clean or a more in-depth remodel), bring in the pest control guys to eradicate the roach problem, and try to bring the property up to a level that will attract responsible, reliable tenants who won't cause this type of problem again.Good luck out there!

They are hard to eradicate so make sure you have a good company.

I'm going to bring some samples to the DIY store and they'll look at them under the microscope.I also read about those Co2 things and I'm trying to find where I can buy them, as I've seen some +$ 900 ones and am not prepared to get that, yet....May have to ,if I can't eradicate some other way

The City of Independence stated that they have been trying to get USREEB to fix the issue for almost 2 years & I was never even notified of such issue.The tenant moved out Aug 2017 & the property management company kept charging me utilities upwards of $400 when the property was vacant & did not/could not provide me proof or answer why.The bottom of the kitchen sink cabinet was missing & had fungi growth that was never cleaned and replaced.

Are there companies that are good at eradicating odors or am I better off doing it on my own.

I figured if house hacking became the norm it might look more like friends and family pooling together resources to eradicate the hefty expense of housing.
