Or hire a property manager.Extra construction material from rehabbing stays in a plastic shed/bin on the property (paint, extra tile, etc.) or immediately goes on Craigslist or is returned.

when u wake up in the hospital recovery room after a 2.5 hrs hernia surgery and tell your wife "we should lowball that dump we saw yesterday at 20k". of course, the first sentence was "I love you, shnookums".  

Most of what we as investors are doing isnt brain surgery.

Once you have a chance to give it a good crawl through, let me know things such as:1) Foundation (rubble, brick, block, poured, encased rubble, etc)2) Framing - ballooned framed, western platform or something else3) Wall section:Cladding - brink veneer, clapboard, shakes, masonite, vinyl, multiple layers, etc;Outer sheeting - plank (square milled or live edged); plywood; OSB; hardboard;Insulation - None, R5 paper-backed rock wool; R5 - R8 fibreglass; blown; UFFI; etcWindstop - is there a layer of lath-and-plaster in the wall cavities;Vapour barrier - is there one, is it paper or plastic.  

The one caveat I'll throw out there is that Schlage puts a sticker on the lock underneath the plastic casing (which is real easy to remove). 

Said another way, if you needed surgery, would you start medical school?

I did prep it as you would cement, I made forms covered with plastic so it would not stick to the forms and I C clamped them in place to create a smooth surface under the counter.

I also learned a little from my dad and my older brother were both into real estate and construction.I still live in Dallas County but, unfortunately, I had a brain annurism and a stroke that made me bedridden since then but my brain surgery was positive I feel lucky to be still alive. 

I have metal drives vs plastic, the wrapper looks the same but content is whole different item.

But when I had ACL surgery, I suddenly was thrown into the world of NNN medical office investing.
