If he is going to be a squatter because he is just some body off craiglist I would RUN fast!

The sellers has a problem property and is trying to make it smell like a rose.

Gun shots and dead bodies.  

You will come across as genuine and more confident, which the seller will pick up on through your voice and body language.

It's made for fires, but I use it to get rid of smells from pets, bad hygiene, etc.

I've have many friends who are very clean housekeepers, but the minute I walk in their house I can smell cat.

I can think of various of ways to put a warm body in a house with $3K, doesn't mean they all will own a home.You said you have "clients" in RE a client on the buyer's side is one who is 1. motivated to buy, 2. qualified to buy, and 3. has the ability to buy.

Had one tenant that had a senior wiener pooch, hardly had teeth weighted 25+ pounds, less than a 1' tall at the back and about 2' long body, pretty harmless old dog.

I have heard that is grounds for keeping deposit for painting and carpet since the smell can't be removed.

I have a rule, I don't run up and insult great big guys (or anyone really, but that doesn't get the point across), and I don't play games with the IRS.If you are audited and it doesn't pass the "smell test", even if they can't get you on that,,they will get you on something,,,,I don't want to do anything that even looks inappropriate
