The system must be large enough to meet the building's annual electricity usage. 

I think flipping is the way to go on this project since it’s my first deal which has always been the plan but very grateful for some guidance. 5 weeks of tear out, wall paper removal 🙃, new electrical, deck supports, HVAC install…we start putting it back together!

They are vertically integrated management and have their own construction warehouse and contractors.

We removed a chimney to open up the space and updated all the major ticket items—new electrical, HVAC, and roof.

That might be the single most important point - 2 out of the 3 properties have come as off market deals through our network, and we also found our attorney, accountant, agent, contractors, etc through our network.

Is that still the case that only W9s need to be collected from contractors that you paid with cash/checks?

I'm a licenced Broker and I also handle project management for flippers, contractors, etc.FEMA 50% Rule: ALL of the homes that exist in a Flood Zone have a 50% limit on work that can be done to repair them without bringing them into compliance with current flood standards.

Even if the property owner LLC is named as a co-defendant for construction related liability if you implement the steps I mentioned in my earlier post,  in most instances construction related liability can be deflected to Builder or responsible sub contractors. 

They’re often well-connected to contractors and property managers who know the drill for moderate rehabs in that area.

I would suggest building your CORE 4 which consists of a great realtor, contractor, property manager, and attorney after you choose where to invest in.
