- The format of this does not include materials....should I have a consistent format that the GCs need to comply with?

@Amy Raye RogersMileage is an alternative to claiming actual expenses over the life of the vehicle, you can’t take both.

It is very simple, any change for additional work (labor and materials) requires a written change order signed (agreed to) by the owner.

So I was thinking of other alternatives such as Cash for Keys.

A Non-QM mortgage still must show the ability to repay, but they can use alternative methods, such as 12/24 month bank statements if self employed, or Asset Depletion, or DSCR loans.

If you are worried about keeping up with your current plan for rentals, there are plenty of alternative options outside of conventional lending (private lending or hard money loans, etc) that may work for you.

There are times when you feel above everything – like a Superman, and then there are times when you are unable to get anything done properly.You need to recognize these highs and lows as nothing more than alternating emotions.

You just need to adapt to this new marketAlso, looking at real estate investing in a vacuum doesn't mean anything really, you have to compare it to available alternatives at any point in time.

@Gabriel Miritello a whole house rewire can get very expensive especially right now with copper wire double in price, and most material just about non exsistant.

I would try to get help to bargain down (contractors like car salesman tend to take advantage of women) like actual time and materials of the plumber at $50-100/hour.
