Wash stained woodwork with vinegar and water, towel dry. 

And with apartment buildings, the added risk is that we'd be handing over a "well oiled machine" and if we had to take it back...what would it look like?

So, what john did was he purchased homes that he knew would increase in value, significantly, and then he taught people how to use the IRS rules where they could move from those home in two years, sell the homes without paying capital gains tax and then move to a home that was more expensive, that home would increase in value and the owners would move again, buy another home and avoid paying capital gains tax.The above scenario is not for myself because after investing in real estate for 30 years and after meeting more than 200 real estate agents and brokers, John taught me the math that no brokers ever mentioned.

With two policies (wind and flood), you run into the insurance companies dickering over "did it blow away or wash away?". 

But thats for the people who make it. 87% of people who attempt a career as an agent wash out of the profession entirely.
