Sometimes the contractor will put a % on the top of the materials to source it.2) what's your range for remodeling a bathroom?

@Henry Perez  Things like websites, bios and marketing materials help on credibility as well as your LinkedIn and Facebook profiles. 

I don't work on houses, but I have to use B and A-basis values for material strength which in effect means the real material will end up being 20%+ stronger (depend on the material).  

I like metal blinds better, they block more light than vinyl.

I would need to know more specs on the house but with material shortages It's difficult to say how much to budget. 80K-120K for full gut perhaps but unsure with lumber beings so expensive and shortages.I would plan 9 months of vacancy between the pain you will endure pulling permits & having your contractors show up everyday to complete the work & then final inspections to get a CO. 

Materialism is his love language.

However, I do not know who this could be beyond a property manager which would not work in my case since I am looking to self manage for both tax (material participation in STR loophole) and profitability reasons. 

Spend more than half of your total working hours in an RE business in which you materially participate.2.

However, as W2 earners, these losses are considered passive and can only offset passive income unless you or your spouse qualify as a Real Estate Professional (REPS) by meeting the 750-hour and material participation requirements or STR is used.

We have a clause in our lease that plumbing clogs not caused by mechanical/material defects in the plumbing will be charged to the tenant, and if your lease doesn't have similar I would recommend such a clause.
