Call the local municipality where your rental property is located and ask if they have a list of certified local contractors or see the attached link for a list of NJ Certified Lead Evaluators...https://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/codes/publications/pdf_lead...

It's crucial to discuss how each lender evaluates income and experience, as their criteria can differ.

Everything. 2) Make sure you have a signed contract that is legal and thorough. 3) keep the progress payments relatively equal to the work being done....example - don't pay for tile when you're still doing framing.Go get some bids and then come back and talk to us again... 

All this to say I do love tracking progress just to stay motivated if nothing else.

Help me evaluate this off market deal that's non-traditional.

Then I would do a self evaluation to determine what kind of "work" I want to do in the real estate investing process.

In the future, for other investments we may diversify to LTR as well, but I'll always analyze for MTR/STR too.I'll continue to post our updates and progress along the way!

What I noticed was the ones who invested just post GR were completely behind the mark, the one's who've been in it for longer were great at anticipation.I've asked all for updated pro formas and seeing how they evaluate the headwinds this time off updated rates, insurances, taxes, etc., If it's a reasonable, the capital call in my opinion is less of an issue than folding like a lawn chair. 

No particular industry, small country town, etc. the other units have been rented for years, and I will find out more on their lease agreements as the week progresses.

Although there is a pending call with you fellow Engelo.I will be posting updates and progress of my experience along the way.
