But if your ARV is way off or you finish the flip 5 months from now and the market has shifted and you don't make much, neither do they.

I have a few questions before I proceed with finishing the app:1.

I have a strict no pets policy on my 3BR fully furnished mid term rental because it is nicely furnished and decorated with soft furnishings, linens, etc, has a carpeted, finished basement, and a tiny but fully landscaped backyard.

More than likely, you will be out the time, the court costs, any lawyer expense and come away with at best a judgement that will costs you more money to collect.The best route is to talk to the GC and if you cant find common ground, part ways and find one that will in fact finish the work. 

While I think that is true, it is much more difficult to simply attain this strategy with 7.5% interest rates.

I've been meaning to come back around and finish off these reviews, but now it's tax season so I have been spending my limited free time actually doing bookkeeping. 

Unfortunately what you're looking is no longer attainable in todays market unless you find an extremely rare deal.

However after all the work thats required which includes landscape, parking lot, fencing lighting and interior/exterior work, it looks like the presumed cost of remodeling it will be double that, although Im not positive (still taking bids).Ive priced a comparable property in our area which has similar square footage and lot size and they seem to be going between $700-800k, and so my question is: based on a higher than expected construction cost which is necessary to finish our project, one which will exceed the amount of money of what a similar property goes for in our neighbrhood, should I continue with this project, or an alternative plan would be to simply beautify it for approximately 100-150k and ditch the plans, and flip it instead for approximately 700-800k now that its zoned commercial.My fear is that if I do invest the moneys to finish the project over the budget I initially priced it for, and the business doesnt take off, I would initially lose money on this investment.Thank you for taking the time reading this.

Hi Marc, it can depend upon lot of factors like exact location, basement, garage, outdoor space, finishes etc.In general, right now, I see house going in range of 350k-400K.

I'd include:Development and design.PermitsStreet and walks.Driveways and foundations (for garage and house without basement)Utilities stabs for sewer, water, gas, power, cable And any other factor I'm forgetting.Thank you. you need beds, baths, finish level, truss designs, utility info, density info, etc etc there's way too much here to help get any help to you
