. $45k from several unexpected large repairs (water leaks, roof collapse, siding rot, plumbing main line, etc.)These issues are also causing me to rethink the assumptions in my model, increasing my vacancy rate from 8% to 12%, repairs from 5% to 20%, and capex from 5% to 20%.

Too many licensed and Ivy League educated financial managers funneled so much cash into RE market since COVID that property values skyrocketed and as a result  tax assessments of properties went through the roof.

Is there a book I can read or a podcast I can listen to that breaks down the steps for a rehab - starting with how to pick a contractor, how to prepare a SOW, what are the steps in the rehab (ie first you fix the roof, foundation , windows and exterior doors and then plumbing, etc.) , what work can be done at the same time (ie plumbing and electrical) etc.
