How do you rehab rentals with such a busy schedule?
Hello BP world
I am 4 months in on rehabbing my first rental property which is much longer than I expected. A large reason is due to the fact that my first child was born about 5 days after I closed on it so my time was quickly sucked up. A part of my bank loan included some money for rehab which was quickly used up on big ticket items (roof, hvac, drywall repair and paint). I am almost done with the rehab and it looks great, my question is how do you grow a rental property business and be hands off as much as possible during the rehab?
