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.

Contractors are paying their experienced workers $250/day these days in our parts. 

And working for a contractor that does flips or rentals would be ideal.

Hi, just wanted to introduce myself. I currently live in Butte, Mt but plan on moving to Phoenix, Az for 6 months out of the year. Just would like to start building relationships with people In the Phoenix area as well. 

Given the property is located in the Poconos and the property is vacant more regularly as an STR there are proactive measures  you should  be taking such as making sure there are heating sources so that the plumbing does not freeze and ensuring there are no blocks in the plumbing lines with routine checks.

They're doing the backsplash and electrical + plumbing finishes now. 

Possibly already permitted outbuildings that already have plumbing such as workshops, offices, etc might be able to be converted to an ADU at a cost that does not result in the cost being more than the value added.Building an ADU is a lot of work and can be a slow process.  

Quote from @Hunter Hanlon Taylor: Hey, all, is anyone familiar with any good contractors near the Columbus, Ohio area who would be good for various updates I need done on my STR this winter? 

Purchase price: $105,000 Cash invested: $90,000 Property needed some serious rehab, from trees roots destroying the basement walls, to plumbing, electrical, to roofing, landscape.

I am hoping this number is extremely conservative given that our contractors, inspector, and realtor walked it as well.
