For a female who has been managing large construction projects for 25 years I was someone no body wanted not even to dig ditchs or scrub toilets and I wudda taken ANYTHING for any amount of pay, I would have worked for raman noodles if someone would have offered it.  

Queue the stunned silence.I guess our old outdoorsy tenant wasn't satisfied with the 3 (yes, THREE) perfectly good toilets in the house, and decided to make a DIY toilet in the back yard.For the next few hours she texted me some very colorful comments about our old tenants while spraying dish soap she had brought along all over the concrete and scrubbing it out as best she could.

I'm an investor living in Ridgway, always looking to network with people, and "No" I do not have properties in Ridgway that are rentals, nowhere close to 1%, but looking to scrub the Westernslope for a deal.  

Last piece of advise is: use you marketing money wisely, if you don't have a lot, scrubs those lead list good for potential deal and correct info.

Listen to podcast or watch or listen to YouTube about building a distressed sellers list Remember not everyone is an expert so take advice with a grain of saltStart creating your list on excel if you take it to the next level you can upload your list to a skip tracer and Call the owners directly Scrub you list for equity Sometimes a house boarded by the city is just a soon to be foreclosure that may or may not fit your criteria Get a company to mail for you once your list is larger than you can handle.

So it all depends...That said, if you are projecting a 26% COC, you should go back and re-scrub your numbers.

If I cleaned the apts...I mean really cleaned them...got down on my hands and knees and scrubbed the toilet bases for example....I wouldn’t want 100 units.

Or would the only option be to scrub public records yourself? 

HI @Aaron MillisThe lists still require scrubbing, but it depends on your criteria that you put in.

@Kevin H. out of town ALWAYS looks better on paper than it actually performs - doesn't mean it doesn't work - just means you need to really scrub the due diligence and have the absolute right people in place.I agree Denver is difficult right now but I am still seeing deals that make enough sense to buy.
