I would believe most people are not able to put extra cash towards a remodel after buying a house. 

I have a buyer now that will pay 200k for a nicely remodeled home, semi-open floor plan and area doesn't matter to them.  

A PM is an intermediary and their business is NOT refurb/rehab and if you elect to use one, they'll just smile and proceed without concerns other than you pay the bill.a) network with friends who have remodeled recently to get names and first had references - - one of these are work 10x any website review.b) learn as much as possible about what you WISH to be done vs what actually NEEDS to be done (ie know the needs vs wants problem we all have) as there's lots of cash between them.c) read up on contractors bid process in your state, the allowable deposit and how to make progress payments.d) set a completion date with penalties for missing it.e) a contractor must have a license; verify and find complaints. f) must have liability insurance and be bonded (this protects  you from him just walking away).

The main lesson was that while my husband is fully capable of all remodeling, it is more efficient to hire out so that it can be rent ready more quickly. 

I'm just looking for a little money on the side to help with property remodeling.

I've (Keith) been binge-listening to podcasts while remodeling a condo we have and getting a lot of great tips and real facts about RE investing.

I have spent the last six months remodeling/refurbishing my own home, and I am looking forward to beginning the process with other properties.  

Plus full cosmetic remodel and some wall removal to open up the main floor plan.This one will most likely be my most expensive rehab to date.  

Following in my parent’s footsteps, I went to real estate night school and invested in several residential properties in Central Austin, remodeling and flipping some of the properties and retaining a few for rental income.

I could use the flights to Kansas City Illinois as a tax write off.I've heard one podcast of a member developing a long distance relationship with someone to remodel homes in Wisconsin with great deals.
