I have read the blogs on BP that were recommend and have a meeting scheduled with another company later today.  

Feel free to reach out and we can schedule a call.

This is the correct answer. typically you would work out a schedule with your contractor.

I am going to schedule another meetup, beginning in September. however the last one only had a few people, and they only work if we have good participation.

Either sell or convert it into a rental or a STR. 

I see where you guys are discussing meetups and varying schedules.

@Lexi Blocksom suggest you discuss in detail with @Russell BrazilYou've made a mistake thousands of naive investors have made - expecting Class A results from Class C & D properties:( In general, you'd want to compare what you can sell the property for now versus what it would cost to update it and what you could then sell it for.

@Meir Yakuel recommend you schedule a chat with @Jaycee Greene.He's very helpful!

You have $200k in equity but you’ll have a taxable LOSS after selling for $1M or even $1.05M. 

How did you confirm the construction schedule?
