Cash flow will be around 1200.00 before maintenance set-asides.Items of concern are getting to an ARV for appeal due to minor repairs, clean-up, and available cash required to acquire a new place to live.  1.

I'm sure it would've included structural engineering, but it might have included electrical and mechanical engineering as well...or even other consultants.

Site cleaning is consistently understated in rehab construction budgets. 

A sprayer will need to be cleaned and you will likely use a brush and roller as well because the paint will not be the same everywhere.You will probably want to use flat on the ceilings to hide imperfections.

again this is my perspective I was the largest HML in Jackson market from 03 to 08  and lived there for one year cleaning up all the foreclosures I had from failed landlords in 09  I lived out at Reunion which is great neighborhood but you not allowed to rent homes there..

And you can tailor it to you, so 1) You certainly don't have to charge 100% while vacant (dependent on bldg. layout, thermostat access, etc.) and 2) You can tailor the Gas/Electric as you have brought up so maybe 50/50 all except 60 unit 1/40 unit 2 for electricity... etc. 

It does depend on a few things as you know like price, location, and the extra's like what's there like water. septic, electric etc.Do you have it posted on Facebook Marketplace and offered it to any agents or are you selling it solo? 

Clean-out crews make a living towing away whatever is left behind.The removal of renters from their homes is also a topic of increasingly broad public concern.

When you select the next tenant I would certainly ensure that you have your eyes on the applications that are coming in, and ask that you are involved in the decision making process. 3x income, clean credit and background checks should be a minimum for approval, even if it takes a month or so to find someone. 

We hired another contractor (a church friend of a realtor that we'd used in the past and we trust this realtor 100%) and paid him $15,000 to start the same project and everything went great; he completed demolition, installed the new roof, and got some permits (roof permit, electrical, and plumbing).
