This company charges 15% on top of any maintenance requests in addition to their normal fees but all I need to do is approve the estimates - they do all the work/communication with the contractors.Recently my PM sent me a few maintenance requests: a $1400 to fix some plumbing in a bathroom (clogged and leaking - contractor says they need to cut the pipes, reroute and replace some plumbing, recaulk.

We are direct lenders, meaning we lend our own money, for flips within approximately 1½ hours of our home.We walk through every property to avoid surprises and to confirm the rehab estimate.

Thanks both.Would you say just as a general conservative estimate that the ADU $ / sq ft might be 50% of the main house?

Have you had an appraisal done recently, or do you have comps to estimate the property's market value?

Additionally, they should be helping with taking video walkthroughs of the location and the property, estimating renovations/scope of work, helping you learn neighborhoods, building your real estate team, etc.

If the stars align, we estimate that we could potentially earn $1,000 to $1,500 per year from the property.

Currently, I have about $20K left on mortgage and estimate value is$175K.

As a builder/investor myself some of your estimates seemed a little off to me, but those can be very market specific so its hard to say. 

Do you have an estimate for what a lawyer will charge for this?

I don't yet have an estimate on cost.I've never used insurance for something like this because A) I've never had an expensive repair and B) I fix most stuff myself on my Denver units.Question is: Should I file a claim or will the insurance company raise my rates so much that it makes it not worth it.
