Guy Idan Best way to renovate with tenants in place?

Expect some mistakes and redo's along the way to add to the time.Expect any government inspections to add to the time.If you can keep the same team all the way through by the time they get several units under their belts they may be able to go faster--providing they can get the materials.In my opinion, it's more intuitive to look at each unit as a separate job, vs demo all kitchens and tubs in X units as a job.They can still come and demo several units, just for me it's seems easier to keep the Tiger by the tail this way.If you buy all of the materials at once, you will have to guard them against theft and store them somewhere. 95 toilets going missing probably won't tank your budget, but it might tank you enthusiasm for a while.Make sure to budget for a dumpster if you need one, and porta-potties for the workers to keep them from using the ones in the units.
