I have a Foremost DP-3 on mine and I am an independent adjuster (what car does your mechanic drive concept here).

I segment the house into Kitchen/Bath(s)/Paint/Flooring/Mechanicals/Roof/Misc. etc.My advice to the OP is to start getting comfortable estimating project costs by eating the elephant one area at a time.

However, “substantially remodel” has a specific meaning, which is the replacement or substantial modification of any structural, electrical, plumbing or mechanical system that requires a permit, or the abatement of hazardous material, including lead, mold or asbestos that cannot be reasonably accomplished in a safe manner with the tenant in the unit and that requires the tenant to vacate for more than thirty days.

The Compensation Mechanic is Completely DifferentA Flat Fee MLS listing gives sellers the ability to display a binding offer of commission to buyer agents on the MLS.

Maybe like a 7 year hold to avoid cap ex for roofs and mechanicals.

Why does a tenants mechanic get paid ahead of their landlord. 

Clearly, that is the mechanism that "trips-up" the debris. 

What about all the stuff that still needs to happen prior:Getting all the mechanicals installedGetting inspections for the permitsScheduling our home inspectionThere isn't even a PM agreement in place yet!

You'd want a good valuation of the property, title report to check for any mechanic's liens from people who have worked on the home and you'll need the ability to purchase the entire first mortgage if required to foreclose.
