However, if you want to build a portfolio of properties without extensive credit , you will have to assume a greater degree of risk.  

On a typical move-out/move-in job I had my "standard" tool box plus a materials box containing;the standard paint color I used for rentals-Navajo White, a bunch of paint stirring sticks (for sheetrock repair more than stirring paint), a couple of pieces of sheetrock 2' X 2', Elmer's glue, sheetrock screws, switch plates, a couple of outlets and switches, scrubbing stuff and chemicals, DOORSTOPS, light bulbs, mineral spirits and linseed oil and 000 steel wool for touching up stained wood, paper towels, TOILET PAPER, rags, paint brushes, SMALL LADDER, joint compound.Once you've gone through every room doing the "touch ups" you'll have a good idea if you need to come back with your 8' and extension ladders, paint rollers and 5 gallon can of paint and drop clothes.

For instance, when I was talking with a seller, she said she was moving and was stressed about how she was going to get rid of everything in the house.

Sometimes a really nice property is found but it has a high interest loan attached to it.For instance say a large multiunit is selling at a 9 cap and think you have found a deal.

If I am actually buying something, I do a more extensive calculation.I tend to like their notification system a lot, but if you are really farming a area, having a agent create search lists for you is the best route.

However I read municipal development codes daily and were I to read something like that, the interpretation would be intended only for the specific instance it is listed under (the exposed underside).

I was looking through Google Chrome's extensions for anything Real Estate related and came across this. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/realcrunch/ngdfckhjcfcibfmegijcejialhhdidcb?

Are the restrictions so extensive that a possible multi-thousand dollar profit wouldn't be worth while?

Bummer.If you're doing any significant amount of work in a dark area, a couple of clamp lights and an extension cord work a lot better than any flashlight.

Is it possible at all to outsource all of these instances to a property manager?
