Lessons learned? Challenges?

because our flips are now "owner build" we had to learn how to read plans. Each city has different wait times for plan review, so it's best to carefully review plans for accuracy and compliance prior to submission. Some cities take up to 2 weeks for simple plan review. And that feels like FOREVER. Takes even longer with the holidays!
