Flooring, counter tops, cabinet doors, hardware, and paint chips and some things I can't even identify.Anyone have some good methods for dealing with this madness?

Make sure the unit does not have any chipped paint if it was built before 1972.

Well then I probably would suggest cedonia , belair Edison, Gwynn oak garwynn oaks ,waverly those are decent areas you can get properties in those areas rent ready for those prices , I just sold a light rehab I completed for 120k in bel air Edison and they have it rented for 1550 with an A class tenants so it cash flows for him and it was 100 percent rent ready for him .

Just make sure every week is a productive one and keep chipping away at it.

-My Partner would chip in the remaining $5k for the down payment.. and be responsible for managing the rehab of the property.. contractors etc..

Do they try to bring in drinks and chips like they're going to watch a movie?

The previous owner of our property let him put it there, and it has since fallen into disrepair - paint is all faded and chipped, business name and non-current phone number are barely legible.

I own properties in various towns on the island (including Oak Harbor). 

Both times I also chipped the bone.I think that there are better tools than table saws. 

Their scale will be less likely to overwhelm the area and they are about as blue chip as you can get.
