I am assuming that despite our letter she went back to smoking in the unit.My question is has anyone had experience getting a smoke smell out of a home and what methods did you use to do so?

@Nick Diecidue you can always ask the seller to deliver the units vacant upon closing (that's if you haven't signed a P&S yet).What I would do is buy the property, and right away have the tenants fill out a rental application, apply that information into a 3 month lease, and deliver a notice of non-renewal 45 days in advance.

Thanks in advance if you've got a lead on that!

Thanks in Advance

Thanks in Advance

I hoping to emulate this method, thanks.

Generally, what your going to be buying to successfully complete the BRRR method will not qualify for a conventional loan because of the condition of the property.

If you choose to use vacation time talk to your boss in advance.

There is absolutely no evidence that he has done anything to advance his moving out process. 

I look forward to your responses and thank you in advance!
