Also would like to set up milestones/deadlines and mark a task as a certain percentage completed (i.e. 50% completed). 

I don't know if this will help you, but I used to live in Rockford IL and worked for a company called Milestone, Inc. they had some live-in facilities for severely disabled and then several group homes. 

., there doesn't seem to be a problem to get a contractor who will work, getting paid usually on Fridays, once he hits the milestones that both you and the contractor have set up prior to work being performed. 

Then break that first year down into monthly milestones, and finally break down your first month into action steps.That way, if you can accomplish your daily action steps for the first month, you should be able to hit your first month goals, which will allow you to hit your second month goals, which will allow you to hit your third-month goals, etc.

more to come... creating milestone plan How did you finance this deal?

I’m almost at my 100 episode milestone I created for myself 😂. 

Some up front deposit is fine, but most should be tied to firm milestones.  

If I was embarking on a project with a new team, I would probably install a more robust payment schedule tied to key completion milestones and there would be a project coordinator to verify.  

He said stay away from hard money if I can.Rehab costs that I provide out-of-pocket are put into escrow, held by the bank, and paid to the contractors only when certain milestones are hit and the work is completed to the bank's satisfactionMod/rehab investor loan: 60% LTV, 1 year ARM, 4.75%, 2 points, 700 credit scorePortfolio: held in-house and not sold to Fannie/FreddieHe did NOT need to see deal analysis to make a lending decision; only wanted the address so he could personally do a drive-by and look it up on his ownSaid he would be using tax assessment valuation to determine market value, which struck me as incorrectRehab costs are loaned by them, are put into escrow, and paid to the contractors only when certain milestones are hit and the work is completed to the bank's satisfactionSo, now a few questions, if I may:His advice to use conventional mortgages for my first 3 deals makes sense because the terms are better.
