By way of example, a lender may charge retainage, only release soft costs upon C/O, may limit loans to a set number of draws or only allow draws once a certain dollar amount of work has been completed.

Seriously not a guru goes by that is not charging an unconsciousable amount of money.

At my day job (non-RE), we have a recurring vendor that charges us about $150K/month. 

It appears to have been maxed out and would lead most people to think it was a first position lein due to the amount owed on it.I am in touch with some family members tracking down who is in charge of the estate to make an offer to buy from the estate if it might make sense to avoid the trustee sale/s for them.

Or find a local design firm that has done cabins where they can show you proven rent results from cabins they've designed and have them charge you by the hour. 

If i do long term rentals i could only charge 1,600-1,800 a month in rental income.

Spoke to a HVAC contractor saying about 7k for HVAC work and 1K for electrician work total 8k but overall may improve tenant experience and maintenance charges to me but bit more price to put upfront

Prior to me putting 50% of the unit into a special needs trust for him I charged him rent.

Then he charges me his bank's $13 fee, so a total of $63.     

Lightning Docs, which we use, charges $500 per set and I believe Doss charges $400 but we haven’t used those.
