Bed Bugs in REO Purchase?
I closed on a foreclosed rowhouse this week and during the clean-out yesterday, I found cans of aerosol bedbug-killer laying on the ground. No "smoking gun" that there are bed bugs -- but the spray cans are a pretty strong indicator. Should I bite the bullet and pay for an exterminator before starting the rehab?
Additional background: People were living in the house as recently as 1 month ago. All carpet and furniture will be removed during the rehab. I will keep the house as a rental property.
Should I have the property treated before the rehab? Or will the full rehab kill anything that's there?
