She quit responding to me, and She switched the electricity and water to her apartment.

I have grown up working in a national contracting business, and am therefore familiar with how contractors work and communicate (I really enjoy this aspect of RE).

It's got some deferred maintenance so our contractor is slated to start work this coming week, new roof, bath remodel, windows etc.Now I'm wondering if we should be adding a third bedroom instead of just cleaning it up.

Problem is we done ran into two bad contractors so now asking what now.

I'm looking to talk with a General Contractor in the Tyler/Kilgore, Tx area that builds 4 plex's. 

Without the tourists the economy would collapse.We pay our taxes and commercial electric rates and everyone is happy :) There is a difference between an “AirBnB” and a Vacation Rental!

Do I need to get receipts from the contractors or will my cancelled checks be good enough for the IRS?

We talked to several banks and found one very large bank that would rap the rehab with the mortgage the problem with this bank is they were very difficult to work with especially for the contractors.

I just received numbers from trusted local contractor so I would like some assistance with reviewing the numbers. 

The contractor I used on my last project wanted $11,000 to install a new 3 ton heat pump (brand new system, new compressor, air handler, run duct, etc) in this house.
