I suggest the first property should be turnkey, the second should be a light rehab (finish basement, redo bathroom).

Finished my MBA (Business Analytics) in September and this work was part of my thesis.An official proforma has not been conducted.

I hired him towards the end to finish the kitchen.

Will finish both tomorrow then work a shed site down below and a road around the property.  

If you give contractors a prize for finishing early on time, they will finish then to get the prize, but there is plenty that can be left undone without you knowing that will harm you later.

It sounds like you did a lot of work, congrats on getting it finished!

I'm planning to finish all of these this month. 

You might also meet title agents who have resources on, say, foreclosures or probates…and might recommend lenders who actually lend on more difficult projects (as the title companies also know which lenders can close and which are difficult).I also go visit open houses to see what sorts of finish to put on my renovations or to look for the next house or area in which to purchase.  

Quote from @Henry Clark: Managers roof got finished. 

Your seller may not have know either.You can see the quality of the finish work on the job and you received an inspection report.
