Your SOL my friend, Brit has a good point there keep them in the unit smoke damage only really goes so far.Keep them long term and then bleach and paint all the walls when they leave install some new flooring if you have any carpet.Next time it's for rent the best way to determine a smoker, Ask to see the inside of the car they drive or their finger tips:-).

A black glove with a middle finger showing and a nailed up note with the tenants name underneath, KKK Neighborhood Watch notices, couple of n****r messages, and the oldy but goldy, a noose in the front yard.Our tenant calls the cops, and absolutely nothing happens apart from the neighbor being told that if he fires his gun outside again he'll be arrested.Over the next few months this continues.

Got My fingers crossed, I heard it could go WAY above asking price, it already is above asking, but it could go WAY beyond what I thought! 

All my numbers check out, so keeping my fingers crossed.Anyways, Is there anything special that I need to know about when buying from an estate sale?

I have seen a lot of projects that went off the rails with finger pointing when the HO tries to middle-man the material in an attempt to save money. 

Plus, Uncle Sam sticks his fingers in when interest is involved.

Should be a few weeks, fingers crossed. 

She would actually rub it with her finger to test. 

Putting two different contractors on the job like this is a mistake...one will interfere with the other and the finger pointing starts.  

So fingers crossed that all turns out well.
