The final straw was when my property went into abatement after an inspection, due to the property management company's failure to address tenant requests for the exact items that caused the issue.

Like many of you, I'm a new investor, although have worked with investors for several years, finally jumping out of the nest if you will!

I kept the house for 5 years and finally called and requested the Chief Building Inpector.

Time to do something finally!

Cost Overruns: After the final payment, the contractor claimed there were additional costs of $60K.

I would need to know more specs on the house but with material shortages It's difficult to say how much to budget. 80K-120K for full gut perhaps but unsure with lumber beings so expensive and shortages.I would plan 9 months of vacancy between the pain you will endure pulling permits & having your contractors show up everyday to complete the work & then final inspections to get a CO. 

I pull all my copies , approved plans from the county , footer inspections , final inspections , AND I found a copy of the code from 2002 . 

The permitting process is expected to take a few months to finalize.
