We had a tenant who had snuck one in and she got busted when the owner (who did his own maintenance) was tossing out the garbage over the weekend (no pickup on weekends and he'd throw the garbage bags into the back of his truck to haul to a different property with a dumpster he owned) and he caught the odor and opened up a bag to find rabbit cage sawdust and droppings - and a receipt with the tenant's name on it.She chose to leave, and it took a while to get the smell out of there. 

I can't believe Denver Fire is making you sprinkle a building that size!  

I understand it's his business and that's how he promotes it I think he could have presented his pitch in a more concise fashion  rather than sprinkling it through the whole three days.

If you have piles of money or access to it, contact them directly--I'm sure their Master's program for real estate investing is useful, but don't subject yourself to 3 days of sales pitches and juvenile humor sprinkled with tiny bits of useful information for this.

I think the main reason a lot of these guys are going the HML route is because the lender doesn't like the FICOs they're seeing.Puking upon entering the house is often a sign you're walking into a winnner.Seeing a "cloud" of fleas hopping 6" off the floor is another, I used to see a lot of that in the late '80s early-'90s in Houston.Fresh sawdust and sheetrock dust from the chainsaw to the walls is good.A stack of "pink envelopes" from everyone from the power company to Columbia Records, to American Express means you've got a motivated seller.When the only furniture is a lawn chair and a couple of boards resting on concrete blocks, you've either entered someone's college dorm, or a divorced guy trying to hold on.

Obviously zoning, but to turn it into separate dwelling units, you'll need fire barriers and will likely need to have it sprinkled.

@Brittany DentI learned a long time ago to ask questions to the seller but I think it's a mistake to try to do it over the phone, Sellers want to feel good when I am walking through their house, that I  really want to buy it for cash, and if you try to ask the following questions over the phone you won't get the best results,I use these questions sprinkled through a conversation and not using these questions like a reporterIf the seller feels that you are not showing empathy and understanding, and you are building rapport throughout the conversation , they're not to entertain a creative offer, ever.Here are the questions to get the seller to even think about a creative offer-----MOTIVATED SELLER - QUESTIONNAIRE CHECKLISTThe following is a list of sample questions you should ask a seller.

It's all A class luxury renovations with some STR opportunities sprinkled in.

I found Noteworthy to be a cut-throat pitchfest, with some tiny nuggets sprinkled in to reel you into the back table with your credit card in hand.

I'm not even joking that this person must never have even wiped out a cabinet as there was still sawdust in the upper kitchen cabinets where the builder had drilled holes for wiring for the range vent.
