Confirm your plan with your CPA, they know things.If your LLC owned the building, the property tax, lawn care, insurance, mortgage interest and common area lighting would be business expenses, plus a portion of the expenses of the business portion of the interior unit.

@Mike TerryIn Ft Myers some builders can build metal frame interiors at the same costs.

I am looking for contractor references to help manage the renovation and who work with out-of-state investors.This will be a medium to heavy lift including interior (painting, flooring, kitchen, bath, attic insulation e.g.,) and exterior (painting, siding repair, balcony demo e.g,) work.Detailed SOW outlining what we are looking to get done is ready to be shared once contacts are identified.Any info would be much appreciated!

We will be adding 1 or 2 bathrooms, improving the layout of the bedrooms, and completely redoing the interior.

We have a couple upcoming projects to do: Paint interior wallsPower wash drivewayReplace rug with laminate floors, etcAnyone knows a good handyman in St Pete Florida at a reasonable price?

We also added some interior work, such as a new install of a recycled door and hardware.

We only use Dunn Edwards for all paint projects including interior, exterior, cabinets, etc.

As a Private Lender I would add, based on the Appraisal/ARV as it pertains to the Current "as-is" Condition (C1-New Construction thru C5-Requires significant repairs) of the property to the Expected "as repaired" condition of the property.The footprint of the property is absolutely essential as stated above, closely reviewing the interior/exterior pictures in addition, will help you fine tune your ARV value based on the improvements your planning compared to the Improvements done to the comparable(s).

Nothing custom, Just a Simple slab, siding or brick if it’s more cost effective and a nicely finished out interior. 

Roof, paint exterior & interior, new water heater What was the outcome?
