On a typical move-out/move-in job I had my "standard" tool box plus a materials box containing;the standard paint color I used for rentals-Navajo White, a bunch of paint stirring sticks (for sheetrock repair more than stirring paint), a couple of pieces of sheetrock 2' X 2', Elmer's glue, sheetrock screws, switch plates, a couple of outlets and switches, scrubbing stuff and chemicals, DOORSTOPS, light bulbs, mineral spirits and linseed oil and 000 steel wool for touching up stained wood, paper towels, TOILET PAPER, rags, paint brushes, SMALL LADDER, joint compound.Once you've gone through every room doing the "touch ups" you'll have a good idea if you need to come back with your 8' and extension ladders, paint rollers and 5 gallon can of paint and drop clothes.

anybody have an recommendations on how to clean very old and neglected tile/dirty grout without tons of scrubbing?  

Scrub the walls first, to remove as much nicotine as possible.

The ozone generator sounds great, but in our experience with turning rentals, we still have to do a lot of scrubbing before we paint due to the tar/nicotine.

Kitchen: clean and scrub cabinets with water/ammonia/vinegar/baking soda solution. 

Even after scrubbing the brick was just discolored.

We used this product over green countertops about five years ago:http://www.gianigranite.com/The only wear was around the sink where the tenant has scrubbed the area too hard.

I have no immediate interest in getting involved with the foreclosure process and/or owning the property.According to what was said at the seminar, the Club provides all - the "scrubbed clean" liens, lists to choose them from, even potential buyers (at a higher price but...that's whe it stops making sense....)Another RED FLAG: none of the Owners or managing team of the firm are listed.

You can try Zinzer or Kilz, but we've always had to give a good scrub with TSP first to get the waxy residue off the wall.
