Just because a bug is in a bed does not mean the bug it the blood sucking bed bug that is a nuisance to remediate.

My philosophy is ignoring everything unless it is extreme. it isn't worth the higher blood pressure or the bad review risk. 

You will enjoy the money you make off it a thousand times more if you earned that money with your own blood, sweat and tears.

You can't squeeze blood out of a rock, and you can't cash flow in neighborhoods where investors are happy making money on depreciation and tax write offs.

If I'm going through the blood, sweat, and tears to build this team, it makes more sense to me to do it in a solid but relatively steady market with decent returns that will be"investable" for a long time as opposed to chasing a growth market where if correctly identified I have a short window to make huge returns before the growth pushes it outside of my investment parameters and I have to start all over to move to the next up and coming market.

Are there any spreadsheets circulating this forum used to help evaluate the health of the deal that I coud use as a tool to position the health of the property to a potential lender?

You'll fare much better with a shop vac.Word to the wise... keep the filtration system clean... better performance, less re-circulation of particulates and the equipment will last longer.

Even if there are no parents and children, there are often nieces, nephews, aunt and uncles, cousins and other further distant relatives, whether by blood or marriage. 

If you can afford to, run the newspaper ads daily in the paper up there with the widest and largest circulation; at a minimum run the ads on the weekends.
