I want to assign work and go about my daily business.

Frank,I speak with a lot of multifamily owners on a daily basis.

and despite the fact that there have been contractors in the house almost daily for the last 2 weeks either working or giving bids.We're going to be wasting the only 4-day weekend I'll have for months, taking a 12-hr train trip up there this weekend, just so we can personally document / overlook the finished repairs & reiterate that I will NOT be remodeling my entire basement to appease her.

Engage here on the forums daily, for at least 15 minutes every day! 

I've been in the business for years and found this to be a fantastic source of information as well as contacts to assist me in my daily activitiy.  

Apple, Visa, Amazon, Samsung, and the list goes on, are all expanding their high tech (aka high paying) operations into the Austin area and more companies are coming daily.  110 people are moving to Austin every single day.  

-All bank statements, including daily transactions, every page for 5 months. acct numbers on each account, etc., provide full and complete itemized bank statements for the past 5 months.

Some are a set fee at different intervals, like $25 after 5 days, $25 more dollars or a percentage of rent, or a daily amount until rent is paid.

These lenders will charge you every time you take a draw, and they won't give you draw money until after you complete a given phase of the project, and it's like pulling teeth to get them to sign off on each phase. 

My brain is too old to be remembering everyone's schedule changes - which happened daily.
