I can give you an example in my market here in Cbus for SFH 1,200 sqft:Roof - $7k to $9k Siding - $9k Windows - $450/window labor + material Flooring - $5/sqft Paint - $3k to $4kStandard Kitchen - $7k Standard bathroom - $5k This is just a general idea from what I am seeing. 

I own a commercial facility office and industrial 80,000 sq ft.

Bloomfield does have high rents however there a pockets that are still not up to the standard yet.

It’s like the BS facility fee, or resort charge, hotels use.

We’re wondering if these fees and processes are standard for short-term rentals.

When I have done new construction between $500k-$1M in cost the contractor asked for 5% upfront, to be reimbursed at the draw that completes framing, and this was fairly standard in its market. 

In my opinion, the short answer is to use your cash and refinance it into a 'standard' loan if you are going to rent it or sell it when you are done. 

Simplify as many standard processes such as online rent payment, leases, apartment turns, paint, and other materials, and re-key all locks to a master system.

I'd like to find out what a somewhat standard practice out there looks like.

Talk to your preferred lenders about whether they see a cash our re-fi as being approved with the same standards as an investment, i.e. loan to value, debt coverage ratio, etc.
