Hi guys,It's been a while since I've posted, but we finished our 203K duplex renovation, got tenants right away for above rates in the area, and things are going well!

With your expertise you may be able to help me greatly.In my mind, I am thinking that a GC would handle siding/wrap/sheathing/insulation/drywall, carpentry, demo, framing, finish installation (cabinets etc.), flooring and minor painting.I definitely want a specialist for roofing...

After they are finished, they refinance the home (which reduces the cash flow considerably) but makes you liquid enough to purchase more homes and rapidly expand your rental portfolio.

He told me his fiancée broke up with him and he has been sick (apparently enough to not answer phone calls or texts for 4 days) Long story short, he was in tears and apologized so I decided to let him finish the project.

I've heard of people trying similar things, you'll likely still run across people who don't read the rules and use the kitchen whenever they please, hell I have my check in and check out time posted on the listing, within the welcome message and on my welcome pamphlete and people still ask me what time they can check in and check out.If you're going to block out the kitchen from use then that is certainly possible, however, a home that large is a benefit to typically families, and they will more then likely want to cook which is one of the main reasons large units do so well as vacation rentals because their niche isn't easily filled in any other hospitality alternative.

I also preferred the clear finish.

However it has a somewhat finished basement with another full bathroom and about another 800 sq feet of living space including a separate room that could be used as a bedroom.  

Homes are renting in the area in a range from 1.00$ (deferred maintenace and habitat homes) to about 1.35$ sq ft for some home rentals (higher end finishes and cabinets).

Since I liked to cook, I always opened it.

Lesson Learned #4 (to add to my previous post):Too many cooks in the kitchen.
