Thanks Vana, I will like to meet with you since you are in my neck of the woods.

Provided there's enough thickness left in the wood, coarse sand paper and plenty of it.

I'm in your neck of the woods, too.Michelle

If it isn't safe for you to drive through it, that's fine as long as you are prepared to deal with such (that dangerous of an area is a special niche that you need to have more knowledge of how to properly handle), and the list goes on.Yes, the internet makes it very easy to buy a property sight unseen and you can certainly do that, but don't do it without due diligence.

painted wood?

Why max out a HELOC to pay for a property all-cash, when you could work hard, save up a downpayment, and then finance a property through memphisinvest.com (as an example), which offers turnkey cash-flow properties that you can comfortably and reliable acquire sight unseen?

I was going to buy several properties sight unseen but my boyfriend made me fly out to Chicago for a visit before finalizing the deals.

The cabinet installers put wood in to fill in the gap.

@Gary Threadgill yes your sight is very difficult to navigate.

I investigated, determined it was most likely caused by something moist being left on the finished wood floor in that spot.
