Or maybe they just pull the data and store it in a local database and access it ... interesting.

I started in retail at a grocery store at 16.

The only thing I can think of is to watch for cars that are obviously being stored on the street.

If you can get $1150 for fresh paint and a clean place it may be a better solution than shooting for $1300 if it is going to require stainless, granite and glassed in showers.Enjoy the process either way.  

Do you just go buy from a box store or are there better options for investors? 

There is no documentation or list of addresses with meth contamination that it appears on, as it was removed after the remediation, which is supposed to give the house a fresh start, at a cost I believe of $18K.

@Jeff McCaskey, Thanks for your fresh perspective, I agree!

Invest in a small lockbox $30-$40 from HD or your hardware store and if vacant unit put it on the apartment/house door and provide the code to the individual companies going out to give you a quote that way you don't have to be there everyday.

Then they have the product placement display where the name of the tile, granite, etc. store is prominently shown (is the flip getting the product for free?) 

We also get used appliances from a used appliance store that takes care of delivery, installation, repairs, and knows us by name.
