We were using a local small company that did exactly what evolve does in PA then they got shut down by the PA real estate regime.

, cleaned, and installed new HVAC, ran all new pex lines/valves/shut offs, all new hardwood flooring and carpet, all new and expanded kitchen cabinets, new appliances, created full bath and connected it to a bedroom to create en suite, repurposed 2 unused rooms (1 into a 4th bedroom/office/playroom and one into a family room, installed new interior and exterior lighting throughout, new automatic garage door, and landscaped.

If you have a short-term rental, I would start considering ways to flex if your operation gets shut down.

Golf cart license are being restricted due to to many people, sinking foundations- either to close to unrestored sea walls or not enough pilings or fill dirt not allowed to compact, off grid experience, check on sewer and water infrastructure- when the water pump went out, the island shut down, the islands systems are being overloaded, what type of experience and thus rental rates are you shooting for?  

For example it is waterfront, is a flat cleared lot next to a tourist attraction with insufficient parking, it is positioned next to a church or other type of building that may need overflow parking, in between to meticulously maintained houses, or in an amazing school district.

I am curious to hear if you have converted a church property into a short term or long term rental?

Shut-up 20,000 economists screaming at the top of their lungs for years, we can't hear the banker on our I-phone 14 super Max Pro telling me about the 2.5% variable rate Bridge Loan he can get us for 24 months to buy that 50 unit crack house, grow house, section 8, Multi-Family first time syndication I put together after my Doge coin "investment" shockingly went Tits up! 

For small spaces, you can't get a small enough (in terms of BTU) multi-zone unit and what happens is one unit receives refrigerant even when not running if the other is running, which due to the cold of the evap coil causes it to condensate and ultimately causes constant problems with drainage.Also, look for a mini-split where you can connect an external thermostat and configure the head unit to shut off when the set point is reached.

I have a small background in construction -- I used to do small jobs like tear up carpet or help cut or demolish sheet rock for my local church -- so I'd like to try serving as my own general contractor.
