If I remember right they would scrub the walls with dry sponges, replacing frequently, until the smoke coating came off enough to prime and paint.

The key is DO NOT soak the dry wall until soft.

The home inspector (highly rated) did not seem to think it was a major concern and seemed to think it may have been a poor job or was done in the summer and dried to quickly.

It comes in waves and droughts so keep your powder dry.   

We will build an 8 unit complex with covered parking and potentially a value add by building a side building with coin operated washer and dryer accompanied by a vending machine that's loaded with materials related to washing/drying clothes.

I am open to lending a hand however I can whether that be analyzing deals, optimizing marketing campaigns, ripping out dry wall, picking up 4x4s from Home Depot…you name it!

In this market I'd keep my powder dry for opportunities vs rush to pay off a loan in the 3s or 4s if I was still in the growth and acquisition phase. 

If could also cause the texture to dry too fast, without soaking into and bonding to the drywall. 

If the room stays cool and reasonably dry (not desert dry) and the wires don't have a lot of hard bends often it's not in bad shape.

I do have some money to bring to the table but I'm asking if & how has anyone been able to successfully complete a fix & flip with no source of income (unemployed) and without drying up every cent of savings Or if they've been able to do it with no money down at all.
