I'm not sure how much that will draw away from Airbnb/VRBO where every home is unique.

Yes definitely using detailed scope of work and draw schedule as a part of our agreement.

Biggest issue with finding contractors is one who is ok with the draw/payout schedule as they are only paid for work in place. 

The seller gets their money at closing, you get your rehab money in draws as your work progresses.  

I have a couple of questions about starting to look for tenants and general questions about them.Do you have a lawyer draw up a solid lease agreement or do you do it yourself? 

However, Ideally you learn a lot and can leverage that knowledge for subsequent flips.It starts by convincing the wife and my "reality" is not likely to help.Good luck

They kicked in a door, had their kids draw all over the walls with Sharpies, left dirty diapers all over, the new carpet is saturated with urine, there are holes in the wall, and they obviously intentionally threw their trash all over the house and land.  

@Aidan Mulligan, You're absolutely right - The 1031 exchange is what@Filak Thomas would  use to sell investment property and subsequently buy investment property and defer the tax on the gain from the sale.

I am having an architect draw up plans and have been speaking with contractors.
