I have been looking for a General Contractor to handle all the interior work (Painting, murals, furniture, smart door locks).

If you can get all the bedbug containing furniture out of the place and it will sit for awhile (or let it sit while the other repairs are done) you may be able to avoid some cost, but if you want to get a paying tenant in sooner rather than later you will want to bite the bullet and get it well done.

Make an insurance claim and buy all new stuff.

Not some basic furniture with a couple of sets of silverware thrown in.

Budgeting for furniture and coordinating the time to execute or hire a designer is something we try and factor into our Pro Forma or analysis.

I’ve been exploring buy and hold opportunities in my area, and I recently came across a situation I’d like some advice on.I’ve come across a property in my area that I’m very interested in, but I want to make sure I approach the situation the right way.

Everything on my side was set to close, and then today the seller is refusing to close on Monday as they have not moved a few pieces of furniture they were supposed to get movers for.
