My short-term rental is out of state but I manage it remotely (mostly guest communications and troubleshooting issues) and if I include in that the time I spent getting it ready to rent, I would say I materially participated and even more than anyone else (i.e. cleaner).

Admittedly he insisted on paying for some of the material upgrades & it was worthwhile.

Albeit, materials were made better then.

He provided the property and I provided the labor + materials.

you can buy Montalongos and Vertucci's witten materials on E bay for 50 bucks.. flipping houses right now has died down a ton. so Uber caution.

New metal roof & gutters, new covered porch, new side deck Trex material, new large capacity water heater, new Bluetooth thermostat, new sump pump, new HVAC ducts, new HVAC lines, new LED backlit mirror, new electric wiring for entire house, inspected and up to code, new plumbing is all PEX line plumbing, What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

He provided the property and I provided the labor + materials.

All other fees such as duct modifications, code upgrades, labor and materials ect, ect, are not covered.

:-new metal roof that will last a lifetime-new gutters-new covered porch-new side deck entrance made of Trex material-new large capacity water heater -new Bluetooth thermostat.

First contractor said $1,000 to add the closet, $2,000 to move the laundry unit and time + materials for the light switch so it will most likely be more than $3,000.
