If there is any smell from pets, smoking, unique cooking seasonings, we run the ozone machine for about 48 straight.   

You could lose this thing as Jay mentions... this was far more common coming out of the deep dark recession.. but now a days builders don't need to do this and if they need to do this means they are either long on jobs or short on capital.   

It's a shot in the dark but just wondering if someone can show me around or we can get coffee and talk about how things work?

He's gone dark on me without providing much of an explanation, and I cannot seem to figure out why.

Just make sure you are pretty firm on the numbers as it is easy to get smoked on the first couple of deals by missing some of the items I posted above. 

Almost half of my portfolio has Section 8 tenants in it and as non section 8 people move out i try to move in more Section 8 tenants but i make sure my property manager screens them THOROUGHLY....not with just what's on paper regarding credit report, income and past criminal activity (If any).....I make sure my PM screens to make sure they have no pets, no evictions, no smoking OF ANY KIND and no felonies and we still get TONS of people calling...the biggest problem becomes picking someone from who is left.   

When a investor suggests they are earning XXX per month in positive cash flow they are blowing smoke.

When someone blows so much smoke and is so quick to get nasty & personal instead of addressing the substance of the discussion.....well, such tawdry behavior reflects poorly on that person's judgment & credibility. 

I’ve been reading about simply scanning obituaries, crossing your info on accessors site for ownership of real estate and then contacting family but that seems like a small shot in the dark.

In my market and my experience, smoking hot deals aren’t being found.
