@Joy Daniels - All good suggestions above!

I work on projects across multiple states and have a strong network of contractors.Regarding when to involve a contractor, if it’s someone you haven’t worked with before, I’d suggest waiting until after the inspection.

We are interested in using the equity for a real estate investment, and are looking for ideas, suggestions, or investors in similar situations.

I highly suggest you go.And it's VEGAS!!!

With regard to renovations, I always suggest taking incremental steps to bigger renovations or partnering with someone who has already done a renovation at that level.I've been known to just go for the big rehabs for my personal investments here in Chicago , and during that process, it's always more stressful than it needs to be...As far as navigating the competition, I've found the best thing I can do is get EXTREMELY CLEAR  on what I am looking for; then I am confident pulling the trigger quicky. 

Suggestions? 

I suggest you check out Chad Griffiths and Jonathan Hayek.
