@Erika CollinsWhen you are removing the "item," if it has lead paint you will be creating lead paint dust. 

One thing I have found over the years is that trying to find the cheapest prices on every item often costs more in terms of time wasted that it is worth. 

True freedom isn't buying 5-6 houses and hoping for the best, it's a combination of suffering(by eliminating expenses, material items, immediate gratification areas) and betting on quality growth(delayed gratification, asset accumulation, perseveration, etc.) and managing the tail and head winds that come with this. 

Again, if the use of the card is merely toi help advance the purchasing of longer lead items until the bank draws hit, that's a different story. 

I've have had the occasional occurance where the new escrow company was not well organized and I've had to resend items or have items redelivered.

Interestingly, they've recently negotiated a re-purchase price with us IF we bring new funding to the table.The rehab is required for several reasons: (a) correct the damage the bank has allowed to happen to the property improvements these past few years (known problems include completely destroyed pool makeover; wild animals living inside the residence; flooring missing in sections of the rec center building; destruction of the decorative main entry gate mechanism; lots of dead landscaping; as well as latent defects not known to us such as working plumbing, HVAC & water services) AND (b) expansion & upgrading of the accommodations (converting the private residence to a 2-story lodge with the restaurant/bar, reception/check-in, movie room, public restrooms, gym/sauna/steam room/massage therapy room; enlarged pool & deck area with climate-controlled cover for year round use; conversion of former restaurant/bar building to a general store selling venue collectibles & wearables, selected pre-packaged foods, sundries, RV & camping items, bagged ice & a propane refill station; construction of a free-standing event center; free-standing cabins; enlarged & upgraded RV park with its own small restroom/coin-op laundry building; outdoor activity areas; new landscaping & fencing; new parking area & entry drives (personal car & RVs).We know our target audience having created and operated the former version of this resort for almost years creating an initial membership base numbering about 1,100. 

Otherwise, it'd be as if the IRS will chase after you for not itemizing your deductions instead of taking the standard deduction.For the same but different, I qualified for REPS the past few years but didn't claim it. 

How did we manage to continue missing items?

Hey Chris,I have an example Scope of Work document uploaded to my fileplace which has a list of common Scope of Work items and descriptions to get bids from your Contractors, which might be helpful.https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/drobertson/file/sample-contractors-scope-of-work-documents

Source in terms of time BiggerPockets https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/defining-asset-classholis...All I'm saying is when defining something it should easily be applied across those items being referenced.
