His last excuse was that he was waiting on cabinets and materials—this is just a standard rental rehab.By September, I decided to end our contract and started looking for a new contractor to complete the work.

If there's selective demo that's required after the initial demo is completed for the electrician, plumber and HVAC tech, do you wait until sheetrock is hung to have it cleaned up?

That’s a waste and that is not normal This is prison and I can’t wait for the day I retire my mom it’s gonna feel amazing.

I would wait until further down the line.Frankly, you should just post and provide all you can and not worry about what others need to do or how they can run it or the context.

You may want to wait a couple of months though haha!

Wait.

Waiting for rates to go down, maybe another 12-18 months. 

I can't wait for the next one and to share my experience for anyone who is interested.

This way when they try to low ball me I have my own appraisal ready to go.Or - should I just request a PMI cancelation from Citizens bank and wait to see what their appraisal comes back at.Or - am I going about this all completely wrong?

Laying the correct foundation is very important.
