@Sam Shikiar, I (really my wife) am currently putting finishing touches on a flip here in Cincinnati.  

I plan to release the dates earlier if the repair projects are finished sooner.

You still need to get the debt and equity but once you're open / finished with construction you can get grants to reimburse you. 500K-2M is typical for projects like yours.

Just pull the same comps in that area that have sold across the street from 2-4 units with the price and finishes you will put in..

You would have to finish it out to look good but that shouldn't be too hard.What about adding a sleeping area in there as well?

Pergo is known for its durability and ease of installation, which could give you a clean finish and reduce maintenance costs in the long run.It's wise to consider all these factors as you make your decisions.

Issues arise during construction, many of which are minor in nature but those with local knowledge and expertise are better positioned to understand this keep your projects moving towards the finish line. 

Pay them as soon as they're finished with the work.
