The code and inspections were intended to prevent this type of house stuffing and has been fairly successful (but not entirely).

I mean a 2br/1ba condo in Cap Hill totally remodeled inside, with an exposed brick wall, and tastefully designed with Room & Board is just not going to rent the same as a 2br/1ba condo in Cap Hill that's crap inside and has been stuffed with whatever second-hand Nebraska Furniture Mart couch you could find.I'd always do your own research.

I know in this economy I will get lots of bites, I'm just wondering if people can offer advice on how to screen people, apart from the usual "be careful'.The tilers I will be very picky with as that's an important job which can be stuffed up by someone who is incompetent.

My wife and I would watch "Flip this House" while we stuffed and sealed and stamped.

It makes the most sense to me, at least, since I don't have "20% down" stuffed in my mattress for a rainy day right now.

Pretty much the whole of Baldwin County.And frankly, you won't be much better off in Mobile County, let alone Escambia (FL), Santa Rosa or Okaloosa.The markets are stuffed with investors, and if you haven't got cash, you simply aren't in the game.

If you have money, you can pay someone to help you market, if you don't have money, you will need to sacrifice your time to do most of the work like stuffing, licking and stamping envelopes, hanging bandit signs etc.

Of course, it's also typical that you'd be dealing with a multi-state conglomerate that grosses millions (or tens of millions, or hundreds of millions) of dollars every year.If someone asked me to see my PERSONAL bank statements, I'd tell them to get stuffed.

When she had finished, she went into each and every room and stuffed half-eared shrimp shells dipped in caviar into the hollow of all the curtain rods.

(pillows and stuffed animals can be put directly in the dryer on high heat). we took all the furniture apart that we could, and covered the entire room with diatomaceous earth(including taking dresser drawers out and getting every nook and cranny- being thorough is key), pulling all small items, picture frames, legos, toys, candlesticks, anything on the walls, in the closets, storage items- everything we didn't cover in de, in the center of the room and/or soaked in tubs of vinegar. we wrapped the legs of all furniture that couldn't be taken apart with saran wrap, and placed them in shallow bowls of vaseline(makeshift trap). when the bedding and fabric items came out of the dryer, we bagged them in garbage bags, and secured the bags with packing tape, making sure there were no cracks or tears, then put them in the center of the room. 4. we did that to each bedroom, the living room, dining room, and bathroom. in the kitchen, we puffed de behind the switch plates with the foam inserts, and under appliances that generate heat(heat=bedbug food). 5. we let it sit like that for two weeks, and when we were done, we cleaned thoroughly. we bought a good handheld steamer for everything that could be steamed. we cleaned one room at a time, starting with a vacuum, and wiping the de of hard surfaces. we left de in the nooks and crannies(by the way- they CAN live behind wallpaper, and even the tags sewn onto mattresses), and made sure that everything we put back from the center of the room was steamed, vacuumed, or wiped off thoroughly. we replaced every mattress and bought good covers for each of them, as a preventative measure. also as preventative measures, we left the de under appliances, we left the foam inserts behind the switch plates, and for a few weeks after, we left the vaseline traps in place.
