The property itself is located in a old manufacturing part of town that also has a sprinkling of rowhouses and bar/restaurants here and there.

The only way I'd let someone out of a lease for that silliness is if they worked to find a qualified replacement tenant first.Until then they can sprinkle fairy dust around the windows to keep the ghosts away.Gail

I am right in the middle of a kitchen remodel with my boyfriend and it has taught us so much about what style flippers/investors we would like to become.The truth is we love the work, we love the saw dust, and we love the before and after.

I always feel these questions are rarely on the up and up, but here goes.Attorney response: it depends.Depends on desired target return, risk tolerance, active participation willing to make, etc. etc. etc.Fire and forget (forward all mail to Tahiti): Drop all $10M with 3-5 HML funds sprinkled around the USA at a solid 8.00% ROI.Work now/Play later #1: 2-3 ground-up multi-use facilities in central Texas (my back yard) paid for with mostly cash.

I've been on a gringo kick lately, hard shell with ground beef, sprinkle a little lime juice on top.

Sprinkle it over all the carpet and one inch over the edges.

Old Fido can crap on it year round and after you kick the tenant out you can just sprinkle some carpet fresh on it , vacuum it up , and post a for rent sign in the yard .

And since we are tired of living in sawdust, we will no longer be living in our flips LOL.  

If it is in the walls and we know what it may be (tobacco, pet, etc), we have a recipe (tsp, rinse, seal, paint)... or if it is from the floors, we clean or even pull the flooring (seal underneath refloor, etc)...One simple carpet one I use is sprinkling the large (13.5 lb)  bags of baking soda into the carpet (if carpeted)... work it into the floor with stiff broom, so it gets into carpet to pad.

Some of the beams have this sawdust looking substance on them.
