Personally, I imagine that employee labor is just as expensive as sub-contractors if you're not tremendously optimized in your business.I think this is very true, in that when you hire employees you explicitly have to pay all the "loading" charges of those employees.Contractors, on the other hand, can frequently be retained for less due to competition among competing contractors, as well as lack of business sophistication on the part of many contractors in pricing their services (i.e. they don't necessarily understand/quantify and build in all of their hard/soft costs, a prime example being the true cost of longer-lived items like tools and vehicles).

-On 1 of the weekends, they will be here to move some inexpensive items for about 3 – 4 hours.-2 days before the lease start they will take the keys.

There are some items that I can buy in bulk because I know that I will use them.

Are there particular conditions or line items in your business plan they are expecting?

I told the building dept to void my electrical application, no longer doing any major alterations, just the items on the C/O list of repairs.

My understanding is that having such items in the lease gives me more flexibility to potentially evict people if I have a problem with them.

Here's the way that I organize my information.3 cabinets: 1 for vendors (people that sell stuff to you) 1 for customers (since I'm a landlord this means my tenants) 1 for general / administrative items (company documents of incorporation, tax documents)This is how I file information inside each cabinet.- Organize alphabetically (except XYZ can be combined since they're rare)- File according to first letter of the company's name.

"etc" means nothing in the context you have - hard for us to say if "etc" is customary or not without you itemizing a bit more.

Paying $500 to itemize 3 or 4 days of work is ridiculous.

Something that was obvious from Day One is now taking thousands from the budget and she can no longer do items X and Y on the wish list.
