Any advice, tips, or examples of how you’ve handled this would be greatly appreciated!

Sure, the premium they add (20-30%) is something to consider, but you’re paying for the convenience of having everything handled.

Upgrade to a commercial-style stackable setup that can dry faster (30–45 minutes), hopefully fitting in our existing laundry closet without extra electrical work.Any recommendations or specific brand/model suggestions for handling this high-volume, semi-commercial laundry?

I thought people would just refinance their loan if they got it at a high interest rate, reducing the risk of jumping into the market at a bad cycle.

This will reduce your risk and cash invested and if something goes wrong you wont be bled dry with never ending repairs.

Would you pay money for other strategies when you get more leads you can possibly handle?

Hey @Chris GarnesI just came across your post, and it immediately reminded me of a project I handled with a colleague in San Diego, Dennis Bragg - https://www.biggerpockets.com/business/page/3607  - You’re sitting on some serious potential with these two properties, and your plan to step back from construction while finishing them makes total sense.For Home 1, with no mortgage and a prime design upgrade underway, you’ve got flexibility that most investors would envy.

According to the sales person, I don't need to handle PH level, adding chlorine or even changing water due to sodium level they maintain. 

I could easily train virtual assistants to handle these payments and have an app created for encrypting sensitive data for facilitating the transactions through financial service partners from my main line of business.

My normal GCs simply cannot handle this magnitude.
