Hiring someone to do the work will likely cost too much (I would charge a small fortune, it's an incredible amount of work) and doing things as cheaply as possible will bite you in the *** later when you start having issues with your own shoddy work and/or materials.

We are starting to get $1,200/month there.

We intend to hold the property in our name for at least 12 months before starting construction. 

What would be my best approach, I assume find a private lender and work out some deal with them.All questions and answers will help thank you.Normally the lender for the reverse mortgage will start a foreclosure.

Short-term rentals of non-owner-occupied properties will also require a special use variance which is obtainable by starting with the completion of an application in the Zoning Department."

I'm happy to answer any questions you have about analyzing markets or getting started.

My partner and I have a flip that we will be starting in mid march as well!

Get a police report to start.  

I'm currently listed for short term rentals and am starting to get a few bookings into April and May...would hate to cancel BUT would take MTR as preference.

At least starting out.
