Many banks handling tax escrow accounts for mortgages have mistakenly thought there was one tax due twice/year or totally missed one of the taxes.Investors should research the SEV and the Non-Homestead property tax millage rates to project what the property taxes will be after adjustment.

Right now I need help finding a contractor that could help me oversee this project and a permitting people to help navigate the whole process.

I assist friends in development projects.

It is closer to new construction than to a basic rehab project. 

The areas around the hospitals can be a bit sketchy, but are slowly improving as more landlords renovate to accommodate nurses.

I'm guessing that if you're trying to close before construction is completed, then the real estate contract would be a set amount for what's already been completed and there would be an addendum to attach your construction contract for the remainder of the project, right? 

We just fully renovated the property, new kitchen cabinets, countertops and backsplash.

My strategy is mainly ground-up construction because that's where I have the most experience as a construction project manager. 

Since then, we have done significant renovations and turned the other unit into a "Mid-Term Rental" getting our first guests at a favorable rate, nearly 1.5x the previous rents combined.During our initial appraisal, the closest comp was valued significantly higher, but was completely renovated.

A BRRRR (Buy, renovate, rent, refi, repeat) is NOT turnkey (already renovated and ready to rent) by common definition.
