She is a 16 year tenant and only complained of some unresolved water damage on the back wall from firemen putting out the fire.  

If it's just sitting on the walls then it's harmless.

The waterfall wall is amazing!

After you get as much air moving as possible (for a few days) give it a good solid cleaning, even renting professional equipment if available.If there are still issues then it's time to replace the carpet, paint the walls, etc. 

By returning several times, you might be the person they call when they hit a wall with the bank or you might go back just when they're at their wit's end and want to talk.For me, the one-and-done numbers game isn't much better than direct mail.  

i currently have my house listed with a real estate agent because i need to sell my house. however, i have to sell it as is, and have no funds to update the home. it needs no repairs, has new roof, new a/c, new guttters, new downspouts, new windows, and the exterior is brick. there are no holes in the walls or anything like that. in fact i lived there for 3 years anticipating living there for a lifetime and fixing up when i had the money. divorce has caused me to buy a different home, and wanting to sell this home. the problem is, regular people don't want to buy it because it needs so much updating, needing new cabinets, new bathtub, some walls have paneling, etc....i have a feeling it may sell better to a flipper, but in order for a flipper to get a good deal, and for me to get out without owing too much money on the house i just bought, i would rather not sell to an investor through a realtor.the realtor's contract is up in 6 weeks. i have recieved several offers from investors, but after the realtor takes his cut, i am unable to accept those offers, although, without a realtor, i would have accepted.so my question comes down to this, where is the best place in order to let investors know i have a property for sale without a realtor, and is it wise to do it this way, or should i just call those "we buy houses" phone numbers or what?

That and fire-rating the ceiling and common walls between the basement {accessory} apartment and the main house.  

I went and looked at it today and it has had all the dry wall taken out and is down to only the studs. 

I use semi-gloss on the walls so that it wipes down more easily. 

Their is a reason Wall Street, and most private money are parking their funds into higher class assets.
