What is the typical cost for a detailed line item bid from a contractor and is it broken out separately into labor & materials?

I come from a tech and systems engineering background, and for the past year I’ve been diving deep into real estate investing — especially non-traditional, no down payments and interest-free models.I’m currently exploring how a brand new concept that already works in several countries (group-purchase model for real estate) could be adapted to the U.S. market.

I have remodeled the unit completely prior to putting it to rent, including addressing pre-movein readiness checklist I was given by RL after they walked through the unit (small list of punch items like toilet paper holder, cleaning unit, door stopper etc.).

While I suspect nothing is perfect and this is a valid concern, on the call they mentioned items to make it seem secure. 

Thank you.Get down to brass tacks: Your investment model does not account for the line item expense increases you are seeing.

The current owner has the entire building set up through HUD for the elderly and disabled and I am looking to continue that model. 

I typically use a basic Amana model.

Start with an electrician, plumber and HVAC guy since this is how your project should start which is figuring out all of those items (Find guys at the trade specific supply yards)As you hire in the subs ask each of them for a good referral for the other trades.
