I have a client who has decided for obvious reasons to get out of the rental business. He is hoping to "dump" some of his lower end properties in the hopes of purchasing some better properties at a reduced price. I was in one of his properties today which overall was in fairly good shape but needs some cleaning, new carpet and some painting.
As I was taking measurements and pictures in this somewhat run down, smelly house, it suddenly dawned on me that we are constantly being exposed to nasty germs and things. How many strange houses do you go in and out of every day? How many people in those houses have cold, the flu, etc.
I'm not afraid of germs nor do I worry about them but I also don't go seeking them out. I guess I must be building up a phenomenal immune system.
My mother also taught me a long time ago not to wear my shoes in the house. Can you image in germs you would bring into your own home after walking through who knows what in someone elses house?
I am thinking of keep some disinfectant in my car just in case I get the feeling that the germs are taking over. It couldn't hurt because sometimes my car gets a little smelly. Many of you have probably thought about this a long time ago but it just came to me. I figure in this market, germs are the least of my worries.
Take care.
