Replacement Cost:  the cost to rebuild the structure from the foundation up with the same kind and quality. 

If so or if you have worked with permits, please provide more details on cost & time line.

1 smoke detector costs me ~$50 where I live, so hard to justify the rest as labor.

@Leo R AriasI am assuming he is a licensed contractor and you have a contract that has a schedule in it.First you can file a complaint with the licensing board then terminate him for cause - but it will cost you 3x the $ probably to fix everythingYou have been too patient with this.

Cons might include increased inspections and regulations, potential for property damage, and the possibility of dealing with tenants who have more complex needs.

(We have fixed up 3 houses now and primaries not fix and flips and really enjoyed it) my job also works 1/2 the year so I have plenty of free time for rehabs.Option 2, just purchasing a long term rental with the cash out but this will produce a negative cash flow due to the cost to rent in the springs area and $0 down.

In the competitive landscape for real estate investor websites, the truth is low-cost SEO isn't going to get you deals that make you money. 

Hopefully a 2-3 year max with 10% per year rent increases?

I have been able to substantially increase the rents during this period of time with having not much of an impact on the tenants. 

Curious about the things i cant see on airDNA, and more about how any regulations and state/county specific costs have affected yall before i dive into a purchase there?!
