(If longer than 5 days, I usually ask them to turn off my main water supply to the unit.)6) Smell Gas in the house, Leave Home immediately. 7) Keep portable heaters at least one feet away from anything that can burn (including curtains, furniture, and you)8) Don’t store flammable liquids near a heating source but, ideally, outside the home in a cool ventilated area, in approved containers.Anything else I should add that you can think of?

I tried telling her about the big furniture and her excuse was well i see people leave stuff there.

I have always received free furniture off of Craigslist or from friends, in decent condition, but of course never really what I wanted.I recently met a young investor like myself who said he didn't have enough money to get started in some areas he wanted to, couldn't find cash flow, but was driving a brand new Mercedes!

And finally, there was furniture in the house that we didn't need and was to be moved.

Then during the "preview" provide some incentives: 3m mortgage prepaid, vacation weekend, membership to local club (fitness/golf), 1 yr home cleaning svc, furniture rebate, etc for anyone placing an offer on Monday when it comes on the market.This would get some attention and also some notoriety.TTFN,Greg

Plus, owning the furniture benefits both businesses.Happy to answer any other questions you might have...

I've had tenants that called me at work to come pick them up because their car ran out of gas (uh, no, I'm not a taxi service), tenants that wanted me to help them move out (not a furniture mover either) and even had one fellow that had the stones to come ask me if he could run an extension cord to my house for electricity because his utilities had been shut off in January - this was about 3 hours after I'd personally delivered a notice of eviction to him.

I know I am responsible for treatment of the bed bugs but furniture?

.- The inspection goes as planned- Our agent or contractor can give us some suggestions about dealing with the property's only major visible flaw - the house next door looks like a bomb hit it (complete disrepair, living room furniture and car parts in the backyard, etc)We should be able to purchase the property for $180k-$185k and comps in the area have recently sold for around $260k-$270k, so we are hoping that there is enough profit built in that even if we screw up a few times (which seems inevitable to me), we can still finish in the black.We are both handy to the point of being able to maintain our own personal residences, but in terms of running a rehab project we will be seeking all the contractor help we can get.And don't worry about asking questions, I'm sure most of my answers seem clueless and unrealistic to more experienced investors too =)

The unit is certainly livable now, though she has not been able to set up her furniture in the living room/dining area.
