Yes they can do averages based on what they saw on the last three remodels. but have zero clue as to the little nuances that pop up on every job.I would find a good General Contractor and pay him to help you with this.

Not only will you get to enjoy the best views and accommodations, but you’ll also be saving money compared to current prices.

I really want to do things differently to maximize profits, help contractors, and track all expenses & data for each property.   

There are a number of contractors that can do the testing for you and prices seem to range anywhere from $300/unit to $900/unit. 

Managing contractors and verifying quality of work/timelines can kill a deal.

Hey y'all,I've had a lot of previous experience with rentals (single & small multi family, STR) and did my first flip in 2023 (where I lost a very small amount due to contractors taking 3x the estimated timeline), and I'm looking to finally get into serial flipping.

The local bank allows me to purchase 2-4 investment units with a 30 year conventional loan + renovation loan for all fixes with 20% down The renovation loan is kept in an escrow and paid to the contractors as the work gets done.Anyone buying 2-4 units and doing it this way?

The $85 - $125 copay is the same you would pay for a trip charge by a local contractor. 

You will still have a fight on your hands , the contractors will have some leverage .

You need to pull a permit, then the Contractor has to take down the coping and bond beam a couple feet, then core holes in the pool floor (so it wont ever popout of the ground).
