the fumes of cat urine were the worst I've ever experienced, I think we actually needed masks, literately the air was thick... we evicted them.   

I always ensure there is no chipping/peeling paint and paint the entire house prior to renting.

I'm keeping my eyes peeled on Loopnet and similar sites. 

They will fail an appraisal for seemingly minor things like peeling paint, cracked glass, loose handrails, etc. 

I went with her to several commissioner sales and there seems to be a lot of competition, so we eventually got our Germantown flip as a FISBO just by staying diligent and keeping our eyes peeled (Many of the comps on our street go in ~10 days, so it is a highly sought-after area with a lot of competition). 

The best ones are the ones that look like they have been vacant for a while with overgrown and trashed out yards, peeling paint and broken windows.

(Bushes over grown, paint peeling, A/C looks like it was from the 70's, etc, etc etc).  

Venture funding masks fundamentally poor business models in the industry.  

What we have needed are grocery store workers, gas station attendants, doctors, nurses, first responders, food pantry volunteers, caring neighbors and everyday citizens who pulled together to sew makeshift masks out of random cloth.8.

For 10 cents savings per mailer (it costs less the more you do, this is based on only 100 postcards) do I really want to make 4,000 cuts (4 cuts per page for 1,000 mailers), peel and stick 1,000 stamps, and then drive to the post office to save literally one hundred dollars?
