Also, on a Standard 203k, you are required to use 1 GC and not multiple specialized trade contractors. 

I would do shrubbery and some lawn care-but then you will need a service contract.Enquire with the local trades for the best products to handle changes in weather and snow removal etc.Are you going without a PM on this project?

My boyfriend worked in painting selling paint jobs as a 1099 contractor and I was an Executive Assistant making $50K.

I believe you are correct that publicly traded securities cannot be sold in installments.

If you execute the deal properly you have a private lender for life.

And why not execute the coliving model you have experience with?

@James Mcsweeney, I don't execute big upgrades like that while it is rented because it will absolutely disturb, and quite possible inconvenience the tenants. 

Although I don't remember half of it but a few credits short from eligibility to sit for CPA exam as well.I am gearing up to start executing my BRRRR strategy.

When I was in my days of learning some trades, I cut a hole in the roof of a million-dollar home, they band-aid fixed it and blamed the roofers and I was threatened with my job I'd lose it if I said anything just to give you a point of view you may not be seeing. 

Congratulations on selling your 3 properties and getting a positive return.The BRRRR strategy is definitely one of the most powerful strategies when executed the right way.
