The inspector said the table that burned was like a “fake plastic”, and likely released what could be unsafe carcinogens into the air (although he did not actually test the air quality for certainty).

Do you want someone who isn't qualified to the same standard interpreting your MRI or doing trauma surgery on your sister who got into a car wreck?

Copper wire conductors in NM sheathed cable or in rigid metal or PVC plastic conduit has been the norm since the mid-1970s, and there are currently no new innovations in the wiring materials themselves.Most houses I have issues are from the 1950s old rag wire with no ground the cloth is brittle from heating of the current over the years.Lots of flippers will cobble together a house, install new wire where they are forced too leave old rag wire to rot away.

It'll look like the glorified vinyl linoleum flooring it is, but hey, that's the price you pay for hands-off real estate investing, and lots of people like plastic everything in their lives.Ripping out a whole subfloor because of cat pee, as @Micah Mcarthur suggests, seems a bit much.

Could not really store anything in it that was not in plastic garbage cans.

Maybe I was a little too hard on it, MHs are a PITA, the repairs of cheap fixtures used, plastic bath tubs, RV water heaters, PVC plumbing that is sized too small, walls built over the carpet and flooring, losing AC units when they leave, window craks that get stripped out and leaky roofs.Now I know a lady who owns a park down at the lake and they are all older units.

Now she has lost a lot of time (perhaps the best selling time of year, she doesn't have the money she needed to put grandpa in a hospital for surgery and the person just shrugged their shoulders and walked away).So all that being said the education part is learning how to determine "value" of a property.

Cardboard and plastic takes up a lot of negative space in the trash bins.

Step #1 - Put something (i.e. tarp, drop cloth, plastic sheeting, etc) down on the floor to help catch the mess and make for an easy cleanup.Step #2 - Fill a sprayer up with water and spray it on the popcorn ceiling. 

We've never offered cash for keys, but we have offered moving boxes, tape, 3-mil plastic bags, helpers with a truck, etc.
