All other alarms must be new, sealed 10-year battery alarms (one on each level including the basement).Here are a few links to articles that I found:http://www.koffel.com/news/Press_Release/2013Smoke_Alarms_Explanation.pdfhttp://www.kivfd.org/news/fullstory/newsid/192709/layout/nohttp://www.kidde.com/PressRoom/Pages/Maryland%2010%20Year%20Smoke%20Alarms.aspxhttp://www.google.com/url?

and once the bank took it over after buying it back at sheriffs auction, someone came and secured the house and made sure every last window was tightly shut and sealed and this was late spring, so the house sat all sealed up through the summer and a teeny tiny bit of mold popped up in the master bath because those casement windows were rather beaten up and didn't seal 100%, a just a tiny amount of moisture got inside and made the tiny bit of mold and the REO agent who was listing the house mentioned it in the listing, but he put something like "NOTE-mold issue is master bathroom!!"

No Motivated Sellers or a more experienced wholesaler or investor would seal the deal.I am moving to Wilmington NC soon.

So my question, can I clean and re seal the rough cedar to remove the age ?  

How do you seal? 

DAP is good stuff, easy to control, but you'll always have some clean up to push the bead in the gap to be sealed.

My first and only rental was built in 1969 and the chiminey is in dire need of "repointing", sealing, bricks replaced, etc.

@David Griffey You had the slab sealed in the basement?  

Not all end investors know how to, or want to spend the time finding and getting offers accepted on good properties, many just want to receive the signed/sealed/delivered/calculated deals that wholesale buyers present to them. 

A great deal more would need to be shared in order to give you advice.There are equity based lenders that will entertain offshore funding projects; expect the need for the borrower to come in with 25-30% to seal the deal.Regards,Scott Miller
