Quote from @Michelle Zapp: I am looking into buying a condo in Columbus, OH.

This may be strange....but you could do a 'butcher block'...and any accents could utilize a corrugated steel. 

@Anthony Butcher I don't mean to be a smart *** but why would you want to?

Does anyone have butchers block in their STR? 

I'm sure I didn't think of everything, but I covered a good amount of ground.Some examples of the provisions (many of these have more detailed descriptions in the lease, this is just for illustration purposes):Windows must be kept shut when it's raining or snowing.All pipes must be dripped during freezing weather (tenant is liable for any burst or leaky pipes that are a result of not dripping the taps)Wood floors / granite countertops / and butcher block counters can only be cleaned with certain products that I list (and I list forbidden cleaning products that can lead to damage, such as vinegar for floors or granite).The dishwasher can only have dishwasher detergent (ie Cascade), and DO NOT USE dish soap.There will be a cleaning fee of $x if the premises is left unclean upon vacancy.Any property left on the premisesA list of things that are forbidden from being put down sinks and pipes, and a provision that if a plumber is called and the repair is due to anything other than defective plumbing, the tenant is responsible for the cost of repair. 

I do this to help me automatically identify properties on the market which may be undervalued.I know that Zillow's zestimate gets butchered left, right and center.

Loved how the butcher block counter top goes with the floor!

Regardless of what you call it and how bad the rights of parties are butchered it is dangerous to me.I have done tons of subject-to deals and there are all sorts of cute little things that happen that gurus glaze over.

The first tech asked me what happened because someone butchered my system. 

In some cases, YES but for most investors specially the newbies, I will not recommend buying alligators (properties you have to feed).Maybe once you have a five positive cashflow properties then maybe you can feed an alligator...provided you can butcher (meaning sell) that alligator in a hurry and get to your FAT profit fast  :-)
