If the numbers work and you can get the deal done, it's probably not a bad deal.One thing to remember when dealing with time capsules - an enormous amount of building codes have been adopted since the 60's, so you would do well to get a good GC that works on old stuff to come and do a walkthrough before you get too far.  

I get it.. and I have no clue as to Brad quality of education.. like I said the name just popped into my head.. so please disregard my comment was not aimed at him or his student particularly just sharing my personal thoughts. 

I have not looked at Homeunion, I have reviewed roofstock a few times (I like that they post "whole portfolios" for sale, that is interesting), but I have been using Memphis Invest for roughly 18 months now and I have several properties with them.My experience is that they are indeed HIGHLY professional and control all aspects of the deal (most importantly from my perspective the property management).This isn't a commercial for them, I am just a customer of theirs, I don't get any remuneration for recounting my experiences, and if they were bad, I would recount them just the same.Memphis Invest is very transparent, they will provide numbers to their clients that list statistics across their 5000 property portfolio.

People do bad things.   

If the smoke smell is bad, you should probably wash everything down first, clean the carpets, and then use the ozone generator.These work great on odors from pets, food, or smoke, but it sometimes still requires heavy cleaning first.
