So I think everything depends on the size of the project. 

I've always been interested in building/construction (my career path is Project Management) and I want to build a strategy for flipping SFR and acquiring rental properties along the way.

BiggerPockets has calculators that you can use to input the project financials and create a one-page PDF report to market your properties to potential investors.There are other paid services that provide similar functionality, but it's hard to say without knowing your investment strategy...

I bet with the right motivation this would be a day project and you wouldn't have to worry about it anymore....

And you don't need mentors, unless they have some financial interest in the success of your project. 

I’ve always wondered about doing a project such as this.

Trust me I’m all for tackling a tough project and remaining optimistic, but I would reconsider your renovation costs on this one.

And I haven't managed a full siding project, but 14k sounds a bit steep.

In addition, it is consuming over half of my line of credit which limits me from buying other projects. 

So for instance if the company you were using already initiated that process the smoothest way to complete would be to figure out where in the process it is ----  has an inspector already been designated for the projects?
