There are people who have an entire business helping you set up and design a STR relatively quickly (3-7 days) depending on size of home and complexity but you are going to be paying a bit of a premium but you do save on the headache.

Do you save three months of vacancy for each unit and $50,000 for the roof replacement?

Washington D.C. has also finally acquired the RFK Stadium (Source) from the federal government, a long-sitting vacant stadium in the NE quadrant of the District, with the plans to have the Washington Commanders come back to the District from Landover, Maryland, and occupy the stadium after a full renovation, who are currently a top 4 team in the NFL.

What type of property do you plan to purchase(Single, multi, commercial, etc) and where do you plan to buy it?

Quote from @Colton Bridges: I recently bought a duplex that I plan to convert to a fourplex.

@Juliann MoralaA GC is suitable for estimating rehab costs, but consider hiring a property manager or investor-friendly realtor for unbiased opinions.Video Walkthrough – Have them record a wide-angle video of the interior and exterior to capture the whole condition.Floor Plan Mapping – Use an app like MagicPlan to create a detailed floor plan with measurements.Major Systems Check – Roof, foundation, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical—any red flags?

BUT we do not have to save the property while we process the appeal.

They also have a good understanding of different lenders' appetites, and thus can save time by filtering out lenders that won't be competitive. 

I'm m focused on staying disciplined and maximizing cash flow, so your suggestion on BRRRR and DSCR loans is especially valuable as I plan my long-term strategy.

It would be good to talk to a lender to make a game plan and review your financials.
