The work that needs to be done involves everything from tile work, bathroom fixtures, interior painting and exterior door installations. 

I want to get a $40-$50k construction loan to finish the cabin and interior and place it on Airbnb.

I want to do a new:kitchen (cabinets, tiles floors, granite counter tops, backsplash)new bathroom (tub, toilet, vanity tile floor)Interior: refinish floors, replace a few doors, replace all outlets/light switches, patch and paint all wallsExterior: a couple roof and gutter repairs, and paint exterior trim/window/sofit/facia.So its not a big renovation, mechanicals are all good.So my question, should I find a GC to handle all this?  

Had I known this i would NOT have sent the inspector there since this home does not meet my criteria for investment houses. 2.There were too many external damages to fix (not even counting interior damages) which would not be doable w/in my 1031 exch deadline...so, in addition to #1, this was a reason to terminate.The inspector, seeing it had a swimming pool which was not disclosed on MLS & which goes against my investment criteria, intelligently decide not to do an inspection but did an ocular inspection, taking pictures of evident damages which were sent to the Seller & Agent.

Since middle school, I have always known, I wanted to be involved in real estate and interior design.

No showings are allow, no access to the interior of the building.If so, what was your strategy?

Six families I looked at has apartments that open up to interior hallways, stairwells.

A BPO will not unearth unseen problems that may exist, such as termite damage, excessive interior damage caused by an occupant, etc.  

I'm sure others will embrace a value-add property, will happily put in sweat-equity, will do the interior repaint with their free weekends, that just isn't me.

Add another 10k for other repairs/upgrades ( the place is in great shape on the interior).
