Do you look for websites and technology, or do you prefer the old fashion, fax/phone/email spreadsheet?

You should definitely have someone lined up who knows your numbers and is on board with your plan, even if it does end up taking several months or longer for the property to season before they'll do the refi.On the surface the numbers look workable in that you meet the 1% rule with the purchase price (though not the ARV, assuming it would also be around $300k, which is admittedly less important from a brrrr perspective) and could conceivably get all your money out with a clean refi at a realistic LTV ratio.  

But while they didn't trash the house per se, every surface was filthy and there were roaches galore.  

if this is grease and not surface burn, i would take some heavy duty degreaser to it and in the end to finished, mr magic eraser.+ some elbow grease (make sure you don't scratch it)

Leather is a common culprit, but any surface with organic material with enough time and correct conditions.  

Folks, its unfortunate that we don't encounter more good old fashion gentleman like Chris int the business world, it would be a better place.

We did most of our houses in a slow-steady-yawn sort of way, some of them by rehabbing a house with good bones while living in it, and many of the rentals by saving up down payments the old fashioned way. 

Insolance, which can be thought of as the quantity of sunlight, is increased when a surface is perpendicular to the sun's rays, and it is minimized when a surface is parallel to the sun's rays.

Most cheaper/affordable cookware is sufficiently thin that it quickly warps an will no longer sit level on the stove;second, if a tenant damages the cook surface on a coil-top range, you simply replace the coil.  

@Curt PowellHi Curtyou can do the good old fashioned method, pick up the phone and call complexes, or listings in your market.
