Also you have to have a licensed contractor that can pass a background check do the work.

I have a back ground in finance, accounting and taxes.

When running background checks, what sort of response would come back if the ID or SSN is not valid?

I also priced out new expresso shaker cabinets from a local supplier which would obviously be beautiful once installed.

My background is limited.  

Background: Property is located in Jacksonville, FL in a neighborhood called Isle of Palms.

That said my units are beautiful and my tenants are decent even if all of there backgrounds have some issues. 

I've been in the background here for a long time and wanted to revisit my situation.I own free and clear a 60x80 lot zoned c3 by a main hwy. option 1 is to put up a 30x50 steel building , complete it'll cost me right at 60k ready to go to lease.option 2,They actually have 2 mobile homes nearby so the city will let me change zoning to mobile home, and get a decent used one, complete it'll cost about 25-30k ready to lease.I understand it's not ideal to go from commercial to residential but I'm looking at low startup.The idea is to get passive income from my first rental.

The classes to get an agent's license give you very basic background legal knowledge but not a lot you can directly apply without experience.

Were you able to walk the property and estimate your costs based on your construction background?
