If you are a real estate investor, you already know that you can get the best discounts on those smelly houses.  Why?  Because nobody in the retail market wants to buy a house that stinks!  No amount of the perfumed air fresheners that you get at the store will take the odors away permanently.  You have a temporary fix that smells like an artificial lavender, or country fresh.  (I always question country fresh, because I grew up in the country.  I know what fresh manure smells like.) 

I have even heard of houses that EPA approved filter masks have to be worn to work in them.  See one of my previous posts entitled:  Speedlinking to Real Estate Posts Around the World Wide Web.

So why do we want these houses?  We want them to be able to get a deeper discount on the property, and to sell with more profit.  Who would buy a house like this after they are rehabbed?  Anyone would.  Why???  Because we have the secret to make those odors disappear permanently!

Here are a few ideas:

• Sometimes dirt in a crawl space can be the cause of odor.  It might be just the smell of the soil, or it has been contaminated by animal urine.  Spreading  lime, and raking it into the soil will help neutralize the odor.

• For wood, such as a subfloor that has been contaminated by pet odors, an aid is using oil based primer to coat the subfloor.  Several coats are needed.  This seals the smell inside, making it undetectable.

• Sometimes smells are originating in places that are hard to get to.  If it is an odor of something like a dead rat, try to locate it and remove.  However, some houses you would have to completely tear down and start over, if you were going to remove the source of all odors.

This is where OdorXit comes to the rescue.  They carry several different types of products.  Odor Magic is more of a cleansing air product for smaller problems, and is temporary in nature.  A good use is for any house that has been shut up for a while.  Use it just before showing a house.  It doesn’t have a heavy perfume smell.  It neutralizes the air.

Original OdorXit is a product for heavy duty use, and is sprayed directly onto the odor.  It will remove, and neutralize the odor permanently.  Again, there are no heavy perfumes.

The third type is OdorXit CIO2.  It comes in a packet and is hung in the affected area.  It releases a gas, that cleans the air of odor, and germs, even the superbug, MRSA, (link to MRSA director page.)

Using the OdorXit product can save the real estate investor 10’s of 1,000’s of dollars.  Just thinking of the time and money involved in tearing down a house, or not being able to sell because of odors or germs, makes me shudder.
Every house can use anOdorXit product, to be sure of a pleasant house that will sell.  OdorXiti s an affiliate advertiser of Real Estate Investor Girl.  I endorse the product because I have used it on several difficult odor situations, and it works just like the company says it does.
