Do extensive background checks and referrals.

This interior change forced us to consider the short term rental market and how it could actually be a desirable feature for this market where a group may be interested in renting both sides like adjoining hotel rooms.Our total cash into the renovations was extensive ($95,000). 

If adopted by year-end, you can wait until next year in 2019 to make the 2018 contributions (employee and employer) by your business tax return due date plus timely filed extension. 

First off as a local investor with extensive knowledge of the area I have no idea if you’re rent projections are right bc you didn’t say number of bed and baths.

Fire or major water damage and extensive mold are walk aways for me, but other wouldn't care as long as the price is right.

I had to repeatedly travel back to the house over and over for meetings with a specific firm of plumbers that the HOA insisted come there with the brief to persuade me to believe I had pipes leaking under my slab foundation - and push me to pay them for extensive unnecessary works.The previous (independent) pumpers and the engineer had already explored all this and confirmed no such issues The Board started inviting me to take part in the morning meetings they set up monthly to argue with homeowners who have broken rules. 

I think BP members step away from answering posts because some have been discussed so extensively that people grow tired of it. 

Alternatively, you can learn how to do everything yourself so that you can address issues as they come up.On your existing problem: you may be able to provide some temporary relief for lighting and small outlet issues with a heavy-duty industrial/outdoor rated extension cord routed to a working receptacle on a circuit that's not already loaded down.

But in the beginning, always have everything in writing, in extensive detail and thoroughly discussed.

@Ryan Saldanha I hope you were still able to turn a profit on your two deals. 212 hasn't been too bad to me, but I haven't had to deal too extensively with them.
