Everyone you do business with, your auto mechanic, your barber, the bar tender (especially in a "RE joint"), your dry cleaners, should know what you do.Now, you tech savvy young'ns get on your computers and search listings, CL and what ever RE site you have locally and I'll go out for a day and walk and talk and I assure you' I'll have more good leads on private deals than you will.

I can always tell when A customer would use slime and I would respect that they tried to fix it themself but when I would dismount the tire from the rim it would be so covered with sludge and crusty dried stuff ide have to clean the rim for a while with air tools before mounting a new tire. 

If you use shoe molding it would be possible to pull floating floor up and dry out under a worst case situation.

If youre in dry climate conditions, vinyl plank is a good idea since you can peel one piece at a time and its durable, but tile is always a safe bet.

They're the ones that are sucking the Golden State dry.  

I completely agree with @Greg H. about HUD...with a little patience and perseverance the HUDHomestore system works for us and is more straightforward/cut and dry than dealing with a non-governmental/regular seller.

As one area starts to dry up, new areas around the city start to become increasingly popular.

I wouldn't say this is cut and dry one way or the other but I don't have all the details.

@Chip ChronisterI am not a dry wall expert, what do you mean with "spray over it" ?

At the very least you're talking about removing flooring and baseboards, getting everything clean and dry, then replacing what you removed.
