CapEx growth is a function of inflation of construction materials and labor cost.

It looks like they do long term too   United Way rental assistance (needhelppayingbills.com) but I am not sure how the program works. 

The justification I have for it is that virtually any other investor who hired us to do work would be getting the same amount of work done and paying my rate as well as my employees rates... functionally putting them in debt the same amount I would be-- and since I am doing the work of scheduling, ordering materials, overseeing, carrying insurance, quality control etc. etc. it makes sense that I be paid for that work, even if I am my own client. 

I have receive payment from this program it took about a month month-and-a-half but you will get it once your application says paid you should receive your funds in about 2 weeks

Basically it was "economically and functionally obsolete"So with your house,  the main question is if you are going to spend 50-100k on major renovations,  will the home at the end of  your planned hold time still be economically viable as a single family or duplex?   

If it's a basically functional and complete home, and you will have a bunch of equity, a cash out refi or HELOC would be significantly more cost effective (rates/fees) and easy (paperwork, back and forth, closing time, etc) than a renovation loan. 

A warm welcome @Richard SwiftYes Keller Williams has a great training program.

I find $150 to $200 per sq ft is what the estimating programs come out in CT.   

Yes there are builders out there who are building new structures on old but functional sewer lines.

Property taxes are a function of the cost, not much variability, insurance is basically priced on the value of the house.
