All of those items were handled and repaired before closing, which gave me a lot of confidence in the team and the property.

From thoses rehab experiences I tried my best to predict the project items and costs for this home, which now has about 30-40 line items of work and then their realistic exstimated costs.

Quote from @Erik Breunig: I don't think he's lying, and I recognize that Geraci is a law firm that prepares these documents, but it was also plausible to me that many DSCR lenders might use forms that were prepared by or variations of documents with similar provisions.There were a number of items that I identified as being problematic.

Once you have the right team in place, having a project manager or someone to fill that type of position if you aren't doing it yourself but it's important to create a line item budget and calendar when milestones are expected to be hit before the work starts.

Home Depot has always (over 15 years I have seen it) had items which either do not get the discount or only gets partial discount.

The person who issued the red tags (who after a couple months required to be kept apprised of the progress because the red tags had not closed) told me privately that if he knew that item was going to be that difficult, that he would not have tagged it.  

Key items I would look at:1.  

Based on a copilot prompt it cited these items:1.

I then spend about 4 to 6 hrs reverse image searching each item to find the cheapest place to by the items.
