I also work in home remodeling/building and can put you in touch with the right contractors dependent on the area.Are you using somebody you have a relationship with or are you looking for a hard money lender to fund the deal? 

@Jonathan Bock Oh, I know, and believe me, I've spent over $200,000 in remodels, maintenance, mold remediation, flood remediation etc.. since 2004 and I only own 3 homes!!

I think at this age, I'm not a young man anymore and tired of dealing with tenants, toilets and Karen neighbors. 

My problem is that the Florida home I just purchased will likely cost $35k-$50k more to remodel than I had expected.

Yeah, a buddy of mine out in TX bought a 32 unit and had one meter. he did a full remodel and put them all own separate units. 

Their claiming the wooden toilet seat was worn and needs to be replaced and charging $100, the last is for 10 walls which they claim have holes, scuff marks, stains and charging $1400.

I have a great team and a great contractor and don’t spend my time fixing toilets and leaks.

If he /,she understands remodeling and good deals he/ she will send them your way.These are the starters.Good luck Dave

Scott: My sister's boyfriend is remodeling my kitchen right now.

Part of the issue is down the line unless your super realistic about saving for Cap ex you cash flow home that never really went up is going to be negative by the time you have to remodel it..
