@Tiffany WatkinsI think with limited construction/remodeling experience it’s too much to take on at once, especially with hard money as you will really be on the clock.I don’t know your market nor the property, but it sounds right to do all that with construction materials shooting up in price with covid19.I understand the need/desire to do a deal to learn, but learn on the “correct” deal.

These are class B properties, so your class A may need better material.

I've been doing some research but any information on finding a location, advertising the group, sponsors or whatever else you think may be important.Bigger pockets has already helped me so much, this site is great!

Then quickly put addresses in Zillow to see what was advertised but then was rented.

Learned to pay contractors in advance and manage money and material purchases.

Super short post here, but just wanted to share:Finding the right contractor or handyman is an ongoing battle.Recently, after trolling the Home Depot and Lowes parking lot and snapping photos of all the vans with their company logos and phone numbers, I noticed ALL THE WHITE VANS with no advertising on the exterior. 

We constantly work toward being ‘frugal’, we keep excess materials from past projects on hand, we are always on site with our projects to make sure work is getting done… All of these little things made it possible for us to pull off the purchase.

I would just continue to ask for the $750, not renew the lease in January, and start advertising the space early.

I recommend a Post Compliance Lead Determination (PCAD) every 5 years or so.Here's the law (emphasis added by me):460.100: Duty of Owner(s) of Residential Premises (B) Whenever any residential premises containing dangerous levels of lead in paint, plaster or other accessible structural material undergoes a change of ownership and as a result a child younger than six years old will become or will continue to be a resident therein, the new owner shall have 90 days after becoming the owner to obtain a Letter of Full Compliance or a Letter of Interim Control, except that if a child younger than six years old who is lead poisoned resides therein, the owner shall not be eligible for interim control, unless the Director grants a waiver pursuant to 105 CMR 460.100(A)(3).

House building and construction materials are more expensive right now in general because of COVID and all the demand for the materials right now.
