I also don't know how he's still alive breathing in all of those chemicals.

It is a chlorine dioxide gas - which is safe to breathe in the quantity this packet produces.  

Small deals under 5MM are monopolized by owner operators that eat, breath and live that specific hotel.

Consequently, just because you make contact, after all the work you've done, and struggle to catch your breath after a sleepless night or two, don't be shocked if the owner(s) are not ready to sell.

Their primary job isn't to filter the air we breathe.

It's a great way to get to know people who also breath real estate and learn from each other.

Make sure there is good ventilation because anyone breathing the fumes in for a longer time will be subject to brain damage.Once you got all your safety gear, get a metal bucket you can pour the stripper in and a natural bristle brush.

I have to hold my breath.

The second offer was 86k, 3k in cc and I pay for inspections and survey, lol I was going to counter them back at 109k, but then I took a breath =)I then responded with a highest and best to both, buyer 2 ( 86k) came back at 96k with all of the same concessions.

Don't worry breathe I know it can be overwhelming but we can do it, with time and patience.
