If accepted, I have my inspector inspect the property and provide me a report on the state of all systems and structural. then I use this report to build my scope of work and know what repairs need to be made. then I type out this list and solicit bids from 2-3 contractors/GCs/ handymen depending on the nature of the rehab.

Have you spoken to any site contractors in the area or even outside of the area?

If it is not in the contract, the contractor has the right to believe they are not responsible for it. 

And there was no chance in hell that my investors would not get their money back: I had confidence in my deals and my ability to manage contractors and enough of my own capital as a risk buffer.

Hi @Paul Rook, I don't have any experience with the company you mentioned but a handy resource for homeowners to check ANY contractor or trades person is lni.wa.gov.

We got an amazing contractor who did a brilliant job and completed the rehab in two months.

They have a portfolio of options that sell first to locals for as little as $1,000 if you have the rehab budget and local contractors.

Yes, Chicago has strict regulations for short-term rentals, including mandatory registration and zoning restrictions.

You pay a once off membership cheapest one is $18k, and then after his team will find you deals, you put down the down payment and his team will do the financing and if there is any work that needs to be done they get the contractors and over look the whole project from start to finish and manage it also.

That's why developers have project managers on top of the contractors.
