There are many strategies you can use, and all depend on your budget. and every journey is different.My suggestion is to pick one strategy, learn as much as you can, and take action before considering something else.

However, installation costs and procedures may vary, so it's worth getting quotes from both if you're not doing the work yourself.As a hard money lender specializing in fix and flip deals, I've seen successful investors use a mix of these sources to optimize their budgets while maintaining quality.

We have $60,000 budgeted for the remodel. 

Hey @Laura Casner, I agree with others to use the local real estate and find out what others are paying.I would call an agent and give them some specs on the house you are planning and the location and they should be able to give you some decent idea of insurance cost.I would budget a bit more for repairs and maintenance for the first year after the build.

My deductible is high, around $4,200.I'm confused about whether I should try to keep the costs under budget and avoid using my insurance.
