There are ozone machines you can purchase to help clear the smoke smell out of a property.

I was talking to a young investor the other day and I asked him what his plan for saving was. He

The answer is clear - mowers are potentially dangerous machines and are capable of causing severe injury.

Notice it’s not so much pushed by fellow investors as it is the market machine of BiggerPockets, paid for course “gurus”, etc.

Since you are looking at other rental house machines your would-be seller ought to know how the most secure place he can keep his profit is by accepting a note backed by the equity in the house that he knows do well. 

We work with contractors, expediters, & architects that are connected withing the Chicago machine.  

Wash, Rinse, Repeat and keep acquiring rental properties without putting 25% down.9) Work with a lender that wants you to be successful.

However so far in my visits to property I have only received $1.00 in change from the machines.

Rip off the bandaid...change everything now, using a new cast iron/porcelain tub and ceramic tile surround for a job that will last the next 30 - 40 years.Reglazing, IF done properly, can last 5 - 7 years if you are lucky and the Tenant never uses abrasive cleaners or is otherwise rough with the tub...washing car parts in it etc.

Their machines are constantly breaking and each time we report a problem they are very delayed getting someone out there.
