I have started to do some door knocking, and I see what you are saying!  

We plan on starting renovations on the unit in X (I would say a date but in reality have a 2-3 month buffer), and based on this we are no longer going to be renting the unit out.

., a large upgraded kitchen, two living rooms, ample parking, and a private backyard, the home is set for completion in May 2025, with leases starting in August 2025.

Is there anything I should know before start shopping?

I'd also start the marketing process 30-45 days before current tenants move out in most cases - it just seems easier to re-let a place that is currenlty occupied than one that's been sitting empty for a while for some reason.

It’s definitely worth exploring if you’re looking for a robust management tool.

Quote from @Brandon Blackmon: These prices will come when you get GCs (licensed, subs, and unlicensed) into the property and start to get quotes.

One year from time of payback or time of loan start date I’m not sure of.
