@Javier D'Espaux Sheetrock on the walls and ceiling, framing, taping, bass board, floor sanding and coating, kitchen demo and sheetrock also, and paint everything.

Final items is the interest rate volatility is resulting in market softness that could further affect the refi appraisal. 

Dawn I see what you're referring to.Does anyone know of other sites that allow fundraising for soft costs like marketing?

Aslong as there is food they will keep coming.Anyway, I'm too soft and get easily intimidated by them.

So soft costs are significant, and have to be paid outside of closing up front.

A home-run deal is when you can create 30% of equity in the building on the 1st lease up after renovations and recapture all of your hard and soft costs to repay the capital you have borrowed!  

As you cost out this deal be realistic of the soft costs created by time.I would recommend having some contingency $ stashed even if you coordinate this all with OPM.

From the landlord side, cannot have soft heart.

But there’s no such thing as soft/hard.

So, I started thinking things like, how much is the cost, what are the soft costs like?
