While any licensed, insured, bonded contractor is technically allowed to do the work, unless they have been properly educated on the 203k or have vast experience with the 203k, any average contractor will NOT now the paperwork, processes, guidelines, timelines, draw process, change order process, estimate/bid format, different versions of the 203k, and most likely won't have the financials needed to pay for the upfront materials and ongoing expenses, or anything else associated with the 203k and would be basically 'winging it.'

Thank you so much for commenting and allowing me see a walking version of my future dreams!

Also, Brandon Turner's guide to real estate investing (the beginner version and then the ultimate version I believe it's called) are really good resources to figure out what type of real estate you want to get into.

Gosec8.com has a free account version that you can use as well. 

There’s even a special version for wet places like bathrooms, laundry rooms, etc.

I do pay for mapline, but I think there are free versions without the route optimization feature. 

What if it's successful and you feel you're living your purpose and you become the happiest/best version of yourself you could ever imagine? 

**I will continue to post updated versions of this post in order to update and educate everyone on my journey.

While any licensed, insured, and bonded contractor is allowed to do the work, without 203k education or 203k experience, the contractor won't know the different versions of the 203k, timelines, guidelines, bid/estimate format, payment process, etc. and will be basically winging it.

The surveyor completed the first version and it was submitted to the Zoning Department and came back with some required changes, as is common when working with Denver Zoning.
