Before sourcing the loan I would  speak with a contractor on getting a complete scope of work done and pricing.

Then no. 

And whatever a property is purchased for it must work for financing (your lender is your ally!).

Expenses do not take a break so until you have no expenses taking breaks should be quick and infrequent. 

The other thing I can think of that  they can do is use those in the dryer dry cleaning kits but not sure if you have the kind of tenants that might do that either with work clothes or drapes.

If so, how has the investment worked out for you?  

I am still working on developing a winning strategy.

You could use it but had to do a lot of work a rounds.

It also gives you multiple work surfaces so you can have more than one person in the kitchen without getting in each others' way.

I know the larger companies around here were charging up to 25% but it will probably vary no matter where you are at.
