Not all realtors understand the requirements, and even when they do, don't always try to keep you out of trouble.

What reason I can give without getting in trouble with the law?

It's shedding material from impact of sun's rays, that's how elec is produced.

& track my job costs against each category so I can compare my budget vs actuals and calculate the variances.For example:Electrical Budget: $4,000Electrical Actual: $6,300Variance: +$2,300This process is more tedious because you have to breakdown each invoice or receipt and allocate the costs to each Category, but it really helps you understand where you are spending your money and why you went over budget.Otherwise, it sounds like you are having trouble measuring employee productivity?  

Earlier this year, we were also posted on Booking.com, and while the listing did produce several reservations, it came with a huge amount of frustration and more last-minute cancellations that we've experienced (significantly more as a %) than the other 2 booking platforms, Airbnb and VRBO.

@Tim Ryan I should have said the unit is uninhabitable and by rehabbing it will produce rental income, so a years rental income/ capital invested = CoC return?

I won't go into details, but experienced investors know what it means when there's trouble with subcontractors getting paid.Started the process of 2 houses in North Port in the spring of 2022. 

We are having trouble figuring out which deals we should tackle first but are prioritizing wholesale to build capital.

I am also of the belief that if a property cannot produce $1500-2000+ in rent per month, you're just going to have a hard time covering capex.

I wouldn't go to all the trouble of a whole suite just to manage one place.
