They argued with me from 5am for 3 hours over $20 saying "the wall is bad, it is not from us"the wall is soaking water from the tub"Um this never happened with the previous tenants and yeah you were the only ones living here.

I once sold a house years ago that had equity in it to an investor.The seller was in financial hard times.The house was paid off but then used a loan from a predatory lender who was now trying to foreclose.So I listed for them with plenty of equity left.The seller ended up selling and still getting 15,000 from the sale.The lady had a few cats and then took in strays.The cats started breeding and then more cats showed up under the crawl space where the vent cover was broken and they would go in and out.There was at one point before I listed it 55 cats in there.Animal control came out and got 48 cats out,3 were dead,and 4 were too wild and ran out of the house.She kept most of them in one room and a few in the living room.I tried to help her by cleaning the room and used every cleaner imaginable.I don't care what people say about cleaners they don't work.The only time is if it's just a few place and the carpet pad and subfloor isn't soaked or they sprayed on the wall but not in the corner.If the urine gets under the baseboard or in the corner forget it.You will have to tear out the sheetrock in that area and clean behind it.For subfloor depending on how deep it has penetrated the wood you can sand the top surface off to get rid of the smell.If it's deep you have to rip the subfloor up and replace.What you need to do is take a portable black light and walk around every area inside of the house and outside to see where the marking has occurred.It it's simply the walls and not the floor or corner you can clean easily.You will know by the black light how extensive it is.

I am ready to soak up any information I can find and hopefully I can apply it to my new venture.

And then I had to soak and chip and scrape the thick layer of the calcimine off.

Soak on that reality for a moment.

Removing the grout around the tile you want to remove and spraying the top and sides of the tile with water and letting soak for an hour or so typically loosens the tile from the wall.

I think he thinks I complain a lot b/c I called him about rain filling the track of the window soaking my bed b/c condo HOA hasn’t cleaned rain gutter in 3yrs (then he did it and it was full), central heater blows out black smoke that makes my dad & me instantly sick, so we can’t use it (he blows me off, so we use space heaters in every room) and house has no weather proofing,(single-pane windows too) so the living room is too cold to spend time in.

Flooring, drywall, insulation, paint, cabinets--full of food that was soaked and a mess! 

I've about 6 months into my real estate journey and have been trying to soak in as much information as I can.

Just start soaking it all in and before you know it, people you know will be amazed at how much YOU know about real estate.
