For doing a large amount of sheetrock (Over, say, 50 boards), I'd expect to pay $13/board hung and finished... plus the cost of the board and mud and tape, so about $20/board by the time all is said and done.For a job the size you're talking, you need to find a crew that has the tools to do it right... by that I mean a bazooka, drum sanders, stilts, etc.

Taylor,Another viable option would be the traditional method of calling previous landlords.

We are the new future and we are not going to let tradition stand.

Typically for FHA loans it's better to go with a realtor (see you already got connected with some good ones on BP) as there is quite a bit of paperwork and extra things that you need to go through that aren't part of a traditional loan.

If i were to go with traditional financing, how can i come up with money to rehab the home?

You can tile over densshield or skim it with drywall mud and paint it.

The problem really comes down to the fact that the majority of these vacation rental platforms are not designed for enterprise use (because they're marketed towards consumers), so there's multiple proprietary systems to try to map out for someone to sync them all, rather than being built to map with the GDS (global distribution system) platforms that more traditional booking engines (Expedia, Booking.com, Travelocity, etc) use.

And I have found that the 1970's mud bedded tile installs are solid.  

Traditional 203k loans have a minimum requirement of $5,000 and can be used for structural repairs.

Hey Micah,Are you looking for partners, hard money, traditional financing, or someone private?
