So instead of a tenant doing Handyman tasks, I am a true handyman living on property basically.The  purpose for sharing my experience is to help BP landlords avoid the costly mistakes.      

Ive created some written timelines, task lists, budget estimates, knowledgeable resources and contractor/company references, but putting all of this information into action has proved to be the overwhelming portion. 

I have some stories about contractors , but that could take a whole thread  -  I've had them not for show up for days at a time while promising to come over "tomorrow"  -  I've had them lave tools at the job site to get stolen ,  I've even had them steal money from me  - I've learned to put a time limit and a schedule together and have them sign it - make them responsible for completing tasks on time or get paid a reduction on the agreed to price.

So if it is less than that, I try to outsource these tasks to someone (including realtors) so I can work on other tasks. 

A lot of traditional analytical templates, p&l sheets I found online don't really factor in some of the unique nuances of short term rentals like this.  

I best advice to you is to speak with a potential hard money source to know what you loan amount options could be.Keep in mind that each flip is unique in it's own way.

I have the opportunity to make my units lead-free and one of the tasks on my list is to install radiator covers.

In an effort to focus my energy on the right tasks, I am hiring a VA to take on the more medial tasks that have been eating at my time.

I did Quartz one time only because it was on sale for the same price as granite and the buyers loved it, but I like the look of granite because it's not as uniform as Quartz, which makes it look unique.

Few agents will spend their time or money working on an open listing, except when the property is very unique or if the the inventory of homes for sale is very low. 2.
