@John Yang Awesome tips.

Like demo condition. 

The other contractor, however, said that the buyer needs to completely demo the basement, remove walls, scrape all the areas, and basically make an entire mess of everything for like double the price.

What about when the city tells you that you can't put a dumpster out front, and that you have to walk all the demo materials down 3 flights and out the back and around the corner, and the back was iced in with frozen snow?  

Once I had the demo done and finish work started I allowed it to be shown and it rented immediately.

I do have a small amount I could invest, but I’m also willing to help with demo, rehab, or any other labor.

You can try it out online with a demo account.

I am doing most of the work myself on some units that were purchased a few months ago: demo, making smooth textured walls, painting, kitchen cabinets, flooring...

She likes being part of the demo crew!

I watched the demo of the software and it looks pretty cool, but I don't see how much it costs.
