The roof of the building was in good condition so it will not need to be fully replaced (and since this will be a rental building and not a condo building, we can save this expense) and since the exterior is brick, there will be no need for new siding (some minor brick repointing will be done).

I offered to pay the difference of what it actually cost him and 3months rent (so if billed labor was $3k, I’d just pay the GC $150).Reasons why I like this:-Building rapport with this GC and his businesses-I get my reno done professionally at a heavily discounted price or potentially free-unit was going to sit empty anyways during my deployment, but now has a handy guy living in it-short term deal with the GC, at most I would sign a 6 months contract and charge the actual amount beyond the cost of renoThings I am getting done:-Laminate floors install and base boards-Cosmetic touch ups in bathroom (to include dry wall)-new front door/frame install-putting up ceiling fans -replacing cast iron pipes for sewer linesWould it be a good deal, all things considered?

Examples: I take a refundable pet deposit instead of a non-refundable one or a monthly fee, I currently pay the whole water bill without taking money from tenants because the duplex is watered together (I will eventually get a separate meter but the outlay is more than I want to pay right now) assuming it doesn't get out of control, paid for the new doorknobs on the bedrooms because the tenants requested locks despite the lead tenant saying they would pay for it, planning to replace the microwave hood simply because it's louder than it should be though it still works, etc.I'm probably losing out on a minimum of $100 monthly.
