And I was surprised to learn a select few companies have prioritized quality over quantity.

Since completing the work, the rents have gone up 2.5x and the property value, based on recent appraisal, has gone up at total of $2M.Everybody has time, it is just a matter of how you prioritize it... 

I recommend talking to a few commercial lenders in your area that you'd like to work with (prioritize the smaller banks, you'll get better service) and ask them in advance what their criteria is for debt service coverage ratio and the percentages they use in their underwriting for vacancy, reserves, management, etc and how much flexibility there is in those numbers.

I have student loans that I'm prioritizing paying down but after reading through some posts in this forum I've decided to simultaneously save up enough money for a down payment to do my first house hack next year.

Submit your deal - any deal - here for "underwriting", let's see how we can collaborate, review, comment, harass (kidding), and give input on your next up and coming development deal.Scott

If it is an FHA and you meet the criteria for the assumption, then you can probably prioritize trying to assume the original mortgage first and paying the Seller the $50k.  

Whether turnkey is for you comes down to what you prioritize, and where you place value.Ok, I clearly failed in my attempt at a brief post, but hopefully this gives you an idea of where some of your numbers/assumptions might be a little off - or, if you find a company where they're spot on, why you should consider going elsewhere.

Collaboration can happen anywhere, especially among like-minded people who are taking action in other areas.What kind of opportunities have brought you the greatest happiness?

I would like to accomplish this by collaborating with esteemed colleagues of the BP community.
