A good agent/broker will assist in viewing homes, giving you a reality check, pointing out things that you might miss & bring their experience to the table in general.  

Having milestones (or checkpoints) is needed when having larger goals to ensure you are on track and keep you motivated.

As for the format: I create a SMART plan and then break it into weekly task/check points.

Miss one, and you might just find yourself drowning in delays or worse and kissing that sweet deal goodbye.Another checkpoint on our journey: third-party inspections.

I know it might not mean anything to you, but it'll be a checkpoint for me.

It is very easy to reach goals when you actually set distinctive ones with checkpoints along the line.

A deal like this would be less reliant on my ability (or inability) to operate the asset, and more on the underwriting process that will have to go through several checkpoints to actually get the deal done.

I attribute my clients receiving higher net cash flow, to my understanding of the current market, market trends, as well as performing "rental audits" for my clients during and after close of escrow to max their ROI, as well as my checkpoint discussions with listing agents before structuring an offer.Indications are that we are still mid-wave and should receive massive home value and rental rate appreciation in 2022.

All roads closed, check points, criminal to be out of your home.

We were based in West Berlin once & often travelled into the East through Check Point Charlie & that was depressing.
