I do not have a general contractor yet so I am not quite sure how much to expect as far as the remodel work goes as there are some significant changes I am making, adding sq. ft moving kitchen, bathrooms, exterior walls, removing interior walls, new roof plan etc. in addition to the usual new texture, flooring, paint job etc.Unless the preliminary plan is done, there is no way general contractors can bid on it but at the same time this being my first rodeo I have no clue how much to expect in this circumstances.

Send me a PM if you want to know my one possible suggestion and why I'm still hesitant about them, another you could use if you make sure to stay on top of maintenance requests and rent yourself and a third to absolutely, under no circumstances use! 

unfortunately, 200k in Tampa will get you a multifamily property in a undesirable area.  

They should go through the potential with their tax professionals because it's very much based on specific circumstance. 

Unfortunately most wholesalers don't really understand why the numbers have to be where they are.

It works quite well in most circumstances.

Hey Guys,One of my paying borrowers has unfortunately passed away.

Unfortunately, you left yourself a long runway (either because of local law or lease language) between now and the time to vacate. 

You are simply changing circumstances of ownership.You definitely do not want to become part of the 1031 as that is prior to the exchange and the IRS has demonstrated they don't like that.

Unfortunately, the weekdays have become hard for me as I work long hours, but I really appreciate the suggestion and I will definitely be looking more into the area.
