Other loan products such as USDA have those requirements. 

We have been using an adhesive product from lowes called musclebound instead of thinset.

For cleaning, if you don't want to do it yourself, there may be a local company that specializes in cleaning built up grease or messes in general.Thanks Merritt, Best of luck!

Since we just finished a 2-bedroom apartment rehab in central Connecticut I figured I would post some pictures of the finished product as well as some details on the products we used for paint and flooring.This apartment is located in a lower B class neighborhood that will attract solid qualified tenants and the apartment rehab and the materials used reflects that.

There are many of them here that specialize and look after investment property for people living in other states or abroad.

Preferably you want to work with a contractor that specializes in 203k rehabs and team them with a consultant they are familiar with.
