Morning BiggerPockets world.I am currently on the first R and trying to plan my renovation in a way that maximizes my appraisal ( as expected)...I have the opportunity to save about a grand on my rehab by having a used HVAC system installed. 

With the inside cosmetic reno, we raised the rents from $750 to $1200, so maybe you can save the money for something else. 

I have been saving since I joined, I am almost at 50,000.

If you know how to use excel, that is another option... and you can create it based on what you want to spend/save/invest based on your own percentages 

It's a quick way to save thousands getting the house ready. 

I usually get my buyers to use them for the first property and save the FHA for later.

Obviously I know learning how to do this stuff will save me tons of money down the line, but I'd also like to maintain a professional feel to our house, and have professionals work on anything broken.At the end of the day, is this ok?

Hi Brandon We ultimately would like to have multi family properties.

Ultimately she wants to be able to continue cash flow while she's alive and provide a lump sum for her college granddaughter which a portion would go to the sell.I appreciate your point of view.

Different banks have different processes - but this saves a bundle.
