After nearly a year of construction and about $40K in costs, all that had gotten done was the laying of the plumbing and foundation, the prior of which my contractor had to redo.

Can someone lay out more specifically what is being said here, in more detail?

Update Kitchen countertops or "old" tiling work.

We do complete kitchen and bath renovations and re-designs often down to the studs which far exceeds a typical turnover renovation where you'd maybe do minor repairs, paint and lay floor.I think I could probably manage 200+ units using Buildium property management software (or some other full featured app) without breaking a sweat.

I have a 4 bedroom house for rent and its 1 level all tile.  

Stucco, Granite, Ceramic Tile All Home Depoy What was the outcome?

I respect the vulnerability by laying out all your financials.

If you had 84k laying around it would be a different matter.
