During the renovation phase, adhere strictly to the scope of work and budget, conducting regular walkthroughs to monitor progress and ensure quality.As the project nears completion, prepare for sale by staging the property to highlight its best features and create buyer appeal.

Hey Lauren just sent you a connection request, I'm an agent here in the DFW metroplex and specialize in working with investors.

network with local agents to see where they took theres. but not much to it but go with who you feel comfortable with.

I am an investor-friendly agent and a local Belleville investor myself.

For the immediate time, I'd love any contractors and handymen suggestions, but eventually, to work with agents to buy and sell in the area.
