On the other hand, a detailed quote with a higher total may offer more transparency and reduce the risk of surprises as the project progresses.I specialize in consulting services for situations like this, where I help clients evaluate contractor quotes, ensure transparency, and navigate the renovation process with confidence.

Give them all the details, contact information, time lines, relationships, etc.  

The key is a great contractor and a clear, detailed, well-thought-out scope of work. 

@Brice Alef-Torrisi To manage finances for multiple properties, maintain separate bank accounts for each property if held under different LLCs to avoid commingling, which could jeopardize liability protection and complicate tax deductions.If properties are under one LLC, using a single account is fine but requires detailed record-keeping for each property.

To have a successful STR I HIGHLY recommend listening to this episode of a podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/on-the-market/id161508...Once you listen to this, and any highly involved STR operator will agree, you will find a lot of the fundamentals are lacking in Kissimmee or you have to have deep pockets to hit those.I won't spoil the episode, but if you listen to it (and anyone out there that does) feel free to DM me afterward and I'd be happy to talk details tailored to your situation on if you're on the right path or maybe I can help.

This way, you can easily revisit details and pick up right where you left off.Avoid cutting corners to save money, as it often costs more in the end.

I'm sure the one Chase will send you is thorough, detailed and will do the trick.I purchased @Michael Blank's Syndicated Deal Analyzer however, and I do enjoy using the tool. 

The $80K from the HELOC used for personal debt won’t affect taxes but must be repaid upon sale if tied to the property.To minimize taxes, keep detailed records of your remodel expenses and selling costs to adjust your taxable gain.

Always have a detailed scope of work and a price in a written contract.
