That being said, right now the market is shifting more towards buyers so sellers are going to be more flexible in price, terms, etc.

From these replies, itsounds like I may shift my thought process for this area.

They were pricing very well at one time even into the beginning of 2022, but when the market really started to shift near end of March and has continued to increase trend, they have not been good (FULL DISCLOSURE - I've used Velocity as one of my lenders for years as a mortgage broker). 

So, fast forward to becoming an accredited investor, and that's when the real shift happened for me.

If ozone treatment was properly done and didn't work, then you will have to at least replace the carpet AND probably use oil-based Kilz primer on the underlying floor - where the pet urine most likely seeped in.If you are going to replace the carpeting, would be a good time to shift to vinyl planking - which typically lasts longer than carpeting. 

I'd like to expand my portfolio and would like to get in the multi family rental properties and this move will shift the demographic to downtown Aurora which make me concern about the tenants and exactly what you've brought up, which other areas you'd think multi family property had better potential tenants besides downtown Aurora ?  

So maybe should I think about shifting my focus to flips in good areas ?
