I'm having contractors over the next two weeks to see the project and bid on it. 

This is a possibility, but I’m not so sure we’d enjoy living in a multi family.

Its a little more expensive but when our tenants put in maintenance requests we can simply forward those to our contractors.

We have contractors that are supposed to start in 3 days so my family can move into the house in a month. 

Higher Costs for Distressed PropertiesTo comply with the new regulations, flippers will need to rely on licensed contractors for repairs, who typically charge higher fees than non-licensed labor.

I'm particularly passionate about central Florida, where we use to live and where we currently live.Outside of real estate, I enjoy flying as a professional pilot, spending time with my family, and traveling.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

I know its expensive but you will be well protected :)Or you save a lot of money and be better protected by doing this consistently and well:-carry appropriate types and amounts of insurance-sign contracts with indemnification provisions- obtain all necessary licenses and permits to operate your business-ensure all vendors/contractors are licensed and insured and list you as additional insured-sign well drafted and fair leases and be a responsive landlord -be an active owner or hire an active PM  who avoids or at worse timely eliminates premises liability exposure The strategies you often read about are sold by alarmist asset protection companies who fail to disclose how impractical they are.

We finally found our go-to contractor after falling out with our original, who underbid the project, become flakey and eventually stopped showing up.

Hire a contractor to repair.
