I'm also looking for someone to come give an estimate on paving what is currently a gravel driveway with asphalt.  

I'm trapped in a circular loop where I need estimated property taxes to calculate NOI but I need NOI to calculate property taxes.

Have some pros look at it and give you some free estimates.

TJ,Often we would want to do a home inspection and when the report is generated with the estimate, typically we would request a credit off the price for those future repairs.

We have done the basics: trusted lawyer, interviewed contractors, estimated materials and started looking for the "one", reviewed comps and areas close for us to manage.
