I currently work as a Pipefitter (think plumbing but on industrial steroids).

Will need about 10k of cosmetic work and some minor plumbing.

Then it's simple, build the home, find crews to do the work (you should already have them basically from the prior step), excavation, concrete, sealing, framing, roof/gutters/siding, windows, insulation drywall, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, finishes, etc. basically in that order.

Many properties will need specialized attention, especially with plumbing, electrical, and historical elements. 

We were shocked at the cost of goods, lumber, cabinets, paint, plumbing.

, status of major building components (roof, HVAC, structural, electrical, plumbing), accounts receivable aging (are all tenants paying or is the $20,500 schedule rent?)

The side moral to this story - be in the plumbing business.

My cleaners take a video after every turn, my team goes in to check everything is good after cleaning and record salt and PH level logs and I have a licensed plumber who is in charge of maintaining plumbing, water heater, and boiler system with logs.

I currently am a resident here (so distance is non-factor) and I possess some handy skills that could save renovation costs (besides HVAC, structural issues, plumbing, electrical work).
