Thanks for the replies guys, those are both great ideas especially reference the picture taking, this one property I was especially interested in has some broken windows etc the old tenants left when they moved out.

None of the houses on the street have any broken or boarded up windows or doors, so I wouldn't consider it a war zone.

As we drove off from the closing we passed a nice SUV with a For Sale sign in the window: "Mint Condition!

At this time I noticed, by looking into the windows, that the unit appeared vacant.

If he wants all cash for full asking price and won’t budge spending time looking at the outside and in the window is wasting your valuable time.Good luckMike C

Ok so here it is:The property is a 3/1..The owner is not living there...it has a fenced in bkyard, new hurricane resistant windows, new tile flooring, painted walls and he's says he is goin to put in new appliances anyways...I did my research.The house is valued at 175k but he's asking for 159k.

Brains are far removed in domestic situations and MOST of those are fueled by drugs and booze,,,most are high as a kite or drunk as a skunk,,,so reason and sanity are OUT the window.

I've been reading various remedies.Installing box fans on one side of the house, opening the windows on the other side to blow it out.set out barbeque charcoal to absorb the odor (would have to be chemical free)seal them with Kilzwash the walls with baking soda.

There is a short window in the eyes of most investors who will purchase from a wholesaler to either be impressed or turned off and you rarely get second chances.
