Everything is refinished, new kitchen, finished basement.   

We spent about $1500 in December out of our cash flow to finish up some deferred maintenance items found during our initial inspection, so that weighed on our NOI a little bit but shouldn't be an ongoing expenditure. 

He's asking me to pay 50% up front and the balance when the job is finished.

His solution to start with is to cut all of the finishes that we added ($21000ish).

So of course I kicked them out of the house.Now, the electrician called me and said he wants me to call the city to check all his works just in case if I hired someone else to finish it and fire hazard happens, I will blame him for causing it.

And very least,  it will tell you the steps  to take so that by the time you finish the course ,  you've already applied or understand how to apply to dbpr for the state license  and  how to determine  where you will be testing. 

Hi all,  a bit late to the party here.  

I am looking to finish a room above a garage on my first rental.

I worked on it around work and family obligations so you could finish a lot quicker if you chose to. 

I attended the FHA home owners education class and received the certificate of completion, so I am working with the lender on the 3.5% down and down payment assistance, so I have less money out of pocket and can focus more of my funds on renovation and increasing equity.The properties I am looking at either have basements that are finished, or basements that I can finish myself to rent out separately either on a month to month basis, or as an AirBnB, or they have detached garages that are big enough to convert to a studio, or AirBnB.
