We are finishing up a remodel for our STR and have a construction loan for the remodel.

If I'm reading this right, you estimate the remaining work at $125k, so you're all in at $329k on a house that's worth $280-$320k after it's finished. 

The bathroom walls are falling apart and need replacing too, and we're unclear if we should finish replacing all of the floor FIRST or if we should replace the walls now?

I plan to be finished by May of 2022 with the remodel and then move into another property, while continuing to house hack and take the fix-then-rent approach.

Fast forward to today and I’ve finished Brandon Turner’s “The Book on Investing with No Money Down”. 

A little bit about me:- Just finished reading "Retire Early with Real Estate"- Currently reading "The House Hacking Strategy" by Craig Curelop- Passionate about and pursuing financial independence through index-fund investing but on a journey to accelerate it through real estate investing- Born and raised in Montgomery County, Maryland but currently living in Fairfax/Northern VirginiaCurrent housing situation:- Rent-hacking an apartment unit my gf and friend- Looking to purchase my first property in the DMV area before/around next April, rent extra rooms to help offset or pay the mortgage, build up capital for the next house-hack, and repeat the process for the next couple of yearsHoping to connect with and learn more from you all/BiggerPockets in general as I get started on my journey!

Once the contractor finishes you then bring the inspector back for another test, and $300-$600 later you should have a lead certificates.

They sent pictures of the finished job. 

While you are finishing up school, continue to learn from the forums, podcasts, etc.
