I need to clean a duplex and it isn't too bad but starting to look dirty.I am hoping there is a easy way to just use a cleaner and the pressure washer so I don't have to scrub it all down.I was thinking about trying the house siding version of Krud Kutter or Simple Green if anyone has advice there.

Having a partner warrant title is the best way to go.I'd also say that this technique, while cleaner and less expensive than a double closing, it will require cooperation of the partner buyer and that may cause difficulty for many investors.

It makes the home look newer, cleaner and I have had great success getting full price quickly.
