I work for Renters Marketplace in Renton; but I've still had a hard time so I became active on this site.

Usually it's just a matter of hiring certified contractors, having the building inspector hand you a big stack of paperwork saying what you need to do to bring the entire place up to code and the working down the list.

You can look me up on BP profiles and in te BP marketplace under Kansas City services, investors.

The OP had two different ads in the market place.

Great post Homedepot carries the zaper They also carry the cheaper Victor brand Electo Trap also For $60 Orkin say they will send out a certified exterminator that will do all the dirty work of finding and sealing all the entry holes and go and climb around up in the attic not to bad deal

There may be a certain way that you have to deliver to the homeowner also (certified mail, post on door, etc)I am sure there is someone from Alabama who has done this once or twice who can speak up and enlighten us on Alabama foreclosure process.http://www.realtytrac.com/real-estate-guides/forec...

Be sure to use the marketplace to find your next deal!

Then if theres a problem, I send them a copy of the applicable page, highlighted along with a letter (certify, by the way) addressing the matter.

Hello guys,I've been marketing to my market place lately and ran into a seller with no interest in selling her property in my market place, BUT.

Thank you Conn, yes, we just put in new flooring(Home Depot Life Proof)(pulled out the old carpet), painted cabinets(Rustoleum Kit), and replaced all the light fixtures(Home Depot and Amazon), and picked up a SS Stove off of Facebook Market Place ( to finish out the SS Appliance theme ) to bring it up to date.
