I know you’re pretty far south from the city, but I was wondering if you were interested in pooling our funds together along with some other investors who lack sufficient capital to make the best possible investments within this market.

Whether permitted or not, the slab likely has little to no footing and it's not likely it includes a vapor barrier, plus the span on the 24" on center ceiling joists is likely too far, and when you sheath and shingle it will get worse...assuming there is even a world where it would be viable to insulate sufficiently and pass Title 24 etc. 

I would go with their mid-range window or their triple pane window, if you want their best for not that much more.Not sure if they have a minimum window order quantity these days as I used them about 4-5 years ago for a rental property where I replaced all the windows after purchase.

So refrain from paying for anything more than materials up front;  I even tend to have them letme know quantities of what they need, and pay for it myself and get it delivered to the site, so you're not giving them money that might just walk away never to be seen again. 

I wanted to put a number and felt 2 weeks was a sufficient time period for a tenant to move out and repairs to be done.

Can it pass the FHA sufficiency test?

Is the homeowner's/landlord insurance going to provide sufficient coverage in the absence of contractor's insurance?

Does the Self Sufficiency test still apply? 

Agree with the folks out there who say its not worth it unless you have sufficient units under management.  

You can find a lot of expensive tile at the $1 per sf range due to small quantities.
