Your budget can not dictate the safety of the project and your relationship with the town and permitting.

As a small business owner in a previous life, I found the bookkeeping super daunting, despite my love for numbers, budgets, & just data in general! 

Use full HYSA budget to fund ~$30k house hack funds (about 12 months)3.

We went way over our expected budget - by far our worse budget miss ever (remarkably we were only 0.5 week over our 2 month timeline).Using my rule, take the estimates and double them then add for lost occupancy and that is what I would be seeking or the owner have the work done using licensed contractors and do the work, take the risks, and suffer the vacancy costs.If you purchase having to do the work and your appraisal can handle it, the credit at closing is superior to price discount.  

I don't need lead generation, or budgeting.

You need people like this so you can budget for projects. 

Failing to budget correctly for repairs or not accounting for unexpected expenses can cause you to go over budget.

Above all, my priority is a project that stays on budget and time (easy right?

You can still find a place that will do 15% cash on cash if you are patient.The real opportunity now is if you have the guts and budget to take on projects in the older inventory of homes here. 

You could do a WED 5-6, SAT 12-1, and SUN 10-11.
