The other contractors that I have worked with gave me a full scope with detailed line items of what will be fixed, how much the labor is and how much the material is going to be.

As far as meetups, CIREIA is a great group - I am going to another investor meetup next Wednesday that I will PM you details.

I am also doing a live in full renovation for a long term rental where I am project managing mechanical items and doing a lot of the interior renovations myself. 

To find reliable contractors, ask for recommendations from other investors, real estate agents, or your local hardware store, and check platforms like Angi or Thumbtack for reviews.It’s best to bring a contractor out after the inspection so you have all the details to discuss.

I'll save you the details but...Per door cost: $63,300All in Cost: 700kTotal Revenue: 137k(ish) annuallyNOI: 65-73% (in the expenses we included: insurance, taxes, $75/month per door repair expense, management fee 8%, grass cutting, & a misc fund for random crap business license, etc.)Now...

Also, how old are your capex items? 

This is true for bonus depreciation items as well.  

So obviously many of the LPs appear to make these investments not really knowing much detail..

Thank you for the detail information this is very helpful.
