Lessons learned? Challenges?

Materials are at an all time high, price way more than you think. Emotional ties to the home. Doing the work yourself saves you money but you sure use A LOT of time. If I were in the position to be able to, we would hire out more of the work.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Not on this deal
