Thanks for sharing such a thorough guide!

TIAErich  Erich - I would echo other's comments, but also point you in the direction of a Bigger Pocket book, "Estimating Rehab Costs" - It's a 2019 version, so the actual dollar amounts will need to be increased, but it can give you a good starting point for the process that you can refine/update over time. 

I recommend talking to a local mentor to guide you through this process.

Totally worth it to cover any gaps.For managing it all, a Property Management System (PMS) could save you a ton of time by syncing calendars, automating messaging, and handling bookings.

Love that you're learning from podcasts and books - lots of great insights there for sure!

I will consider your suggestion's particularly the investigating of the local real estate market here (or as a minimum use it as a guide for if/when i return to the states as so to develop my research and planning skills).Appreciate your feedback.  

For me that is booking 15 nights.  

Also, because your unit will probably be booked with a guest most of the time. 

My approach was to partner with a GC, so he handles the rehab estimates with his years of experience.Another option is to read J Scott’s book on estimating rehab costs.I've heard a lot about this book.
