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.

There are WILD swings in home values in CA.

It can vary wildly.  

ARV was around $130,000.  3 different well known contractors had three wildly different estimates for the same scope of work.  (#1- $12,000) (#2 - $24,000) and (#3 - $48,000!). 

Charter is the way to go, IMO.I'm pretty frugal too, until I get a wild hair, takes more than 2K to fill up the 50' Sun Dancer, truck gets 10 mpg, down hill!

We meet 1st and 3rd Mondays and Wild Manta, on Babcock from 6 to 8.

@Jeffrey StaszGC rules are wildly different depending on the state you're in.

@Anthony Whitt welcome to the wild wild west industry...have fun!

Rusty I think what the other guys are saying is that you need bring money,  a deal  or systems in order for someone seasoned to see it as a worth wild move to partner with you. 

I find them to be wildly off more times than not.
