I got it all cleaned up (special crime scene clean up is expensive thank God for insurance) and was terrified it would not rent and that the neighbors would run off any prospective tenants with the story.

Does anyone know a contractor who has specialized in mixed-use rehabs and has worked on similar projects in the area?

When I started investing, the person who was handling my taxes told me, he would not longer be able to deal with my tax returns and referred me to a more specialized person.Good Luck !!!

Obviously a hard pull will place an inquiry on your report which is counter productive if you plan on making a financial move based on credit in the near future.

Also who your target renters are.I personally specialize in buying older homes 1900-1970 and get them fixed up to the point where they look nice. 

This idea caught my attention as I am currently not in the best financial situation but am willing and hungry to gain the specialized knowledge of not just this one method but of all the methods available in REI. 

Fear Is just an emotion like being sad or happy, fear is not real it’s a product of your own thoughts, fear is a choice not a danger.

And what makes him/her special that you decided to work with them.

Congratulations. not sure on the floors we have been using real bamboo  and in our other high end home it will be heart of pine.. not familiar with Houzzcabinets were ordered  counter tops were custom concrete though.. house is 4 stories and what makes it special is it will be the last one built that can be that tall in that area they changed the code right after we were permitted Charleston is challenging you need the height to get the sq ft in the house that house is still only 1700 sq ft.. you have to build up out of flood zone in that area so you cant go under and first level has to be parking so now you can only do two floors above garage.. and because the lots were created back when the US was created basically they are all tiny 20 to 30 feet wide 50 to 80 feet deep.. so it going to be interesting going forward.. basically going to be pretty tough to have anything over about 1500 sq ft.
