I would go back to that company as you are doing and reconcile this, bring plans, drawings, the license number and permit number with you to make sure you show you are doing it all within the city regs too so they can get you back online. 

Thank you for tip on estimating costs, I tried to estimate about 20% higher than what i could find for pricing online, just in case. but going of your 50% higher estimate on costs, it sounds like a good idea to have a little extra padding on the repairs. 

Traditional banks , online lenders or?

@Jill Hutsonthree reasons why apartments don't rent: Condition, Price, and Marketing, and a fourth can be the leasing agent, although I would tend to lump that into marketing.If the house is in good shape, and you're on all the platforms marketing it, then it's a function of price.There has been an oversupply of new inventory coming on line in many markets, and that's why rents have dropped in a lot of the metros.Unfortunately, it appears you have a pricing issue and you may have to start reducing the price, or throwing in some type of  concessionGood luckGino

I am trying to look them up and I don't see any reviews on line and nothing with the BBB. 

I am already searching on line for more information on neighborhood classes in my area.

Also, check out online reviews to see what other landlords and tenants say about their services.

A room furnished through FF could easily fetch 800. 3 of them is 2400 or up to 3000 when that same house probably only will get low 2000 for rent.I don't think BP has leases for by the room (correct me if I'm wrong) but you can have an attorney draft one for not too much online OR use ChatGPT honestly these days.

You should utilize resources like BiggerPockets, build a team, and use online platforms to find potential properties.

Networking with local and online communities can lead to partnerships and mentorship.
