All that being said, if you stayed out of my way and offered some value on the project (maintaining schedule, daily job logs, taking photos, organizing the yard, coordinating deliveries... played all around errand and gopher boy)...

Also picking up materials vs. paying for delivery..

(The house next door has one, which is probably where she got the idea.)My response was for her to ask the delivery people to put packages in the rear. 

I use a PO Box (not by choice, I just live in a small town with no mail delivery) and give the tenants my cell number for them to text or call at any time. 

Here's what you need to know (this was taken directly from the Fannie Mae selling guide):The basic "Second Home" Requirements are:must be occupied by the borrower for some portion of the yearis restricted to one-unit dwellingsmust be suitable for year-round occupancythe borrower must have exclusive control over the propertymust not be rental property or a timeshare arrangementcannot be subject to any agreements that give a management firm control over the occupancy of the property***If the lender identifies rental income from the property, the loan is eligible for delivery as a second home as long as the income is not used for qualifying purposes, and all other requirements for second homes are met (including the occupancy requirement above).So as long as you can fit the second home into those points above, you can acquire financing for a 2nd home.HOWEVER (and this is a big however) there are these things called OVERLAYS. 

You can also reference things like the "delivery date" or "rent commencement date" or dates along those lines if they exist.

A local builder may take more pride in their delivery and quality because they depend upon your "praise" to stay valuable in their market.Now let's break it down further. 

In this post, we compile a number of expert opinions about future real estate trends in retail, multifamily, hotel, office, and industrial sectors.Warehousing and Industrial Real Estate Are Expected to Outperform Driven by E-commerce“More companies today are factoring their promise on fast delivery.” – NAIOP Commercial Real Estate Development Association “The boom in e-commerce has created significant demand for new industrial space, often in markets based on population and Internet usage, rather than store replenishment.” – NAIOP Commercial Real Estate Development Association“Staying ahead of—trends such as autonomous vehicles, predictive analytics, and robotics.” – An interviewee on the PWC 2019 Trends ReportE-commerce, “only made up 11% of the total industrial transactions signed in the past 12 months.”

I am beginning the process of taking a vendor to small claims court in Georgia for non-delivery of materials and services.

There are numerous resources online to find templates, ideas, things to add, and how to delivery them to your tenant.
