This is my first project that I'm doing on my own - 425sf addition + upgrading existing house.

I've been following many Instagram real estate owners that provide tips and ideas.They make it appear so simple.

Were they supposed to provide you monthly statements and did not do so? 

Pro-rate the rent and save yourself a lot of grief from an issue you would surely lose.If they had purchased renters insurance with loss of use/additional living expenses this could be a covered loss for them.  

That's the best advice I can provide.  

If it is not in the scope the contractor will provide a quotation for the work and is not allowed to start the work until you approve the change order in writing with the defined and agreed upon price and terms. 

In addition, the lessee of record is deceased.

- Do they provide a Perpetual Cost Segregation Evergreen Annual Review to find annual expenses from dispositions, additions, favorable changes in tax laws while also using the changes to drive lower insurance and property tax premium?

My plan is to move out in two years after I qualify for the possible capital gain tax exclusion so then I can either decide to keep it for 3 additional years (or maybe longer, and forgo the exclusion)and move the home into a LLC.

I’ve heard that rolling paint provides for a better looking finish over rolled.
