Hey Jason,A master lease to a reputable company may very well be a good option.If you are looking to do LTR I would suggest a move-in special. 1/2 Off the first month's rent, etc.Are they all the same layouts and finishes?

And anything you spill goes right over them, so red wine or pasta sauce will do a number on them.At least with wood finish, it blends in well, though curious to see any and all replies.

The mental hurdle I need to get over is the time frame from putting cash down on a project to taking over the finished rental property. 

In HOPES that market will not crash/correct itself in the meantime, that crews I hire will work diligently and timely, that there will be a demand for the end product when the work is finished, and my realtor will be able to sell it before I get penalized and foreclosed by the lender.

I just moved to Phoenix/Tempe from Boston (learned about the price to live in that city the hard way haha) and I'll be finishing my finance degree at Arizona State.

Just finished 2 projects and looking to buy more. 

We don’t touch electrical, HVAC and plumbing projects, we don’t build new structures, but we can do quite a lot on our own; including tile work, drywall work, flooring, kitchen, any finish work essentially.

My assumption is that she'll say 30 days is not enough time to find a new place (if she can't promptly pay her under market rent, how will she come up with first and security deposit elsewhere), will not finish paying her May rent and won't pay June either so trying to see if it's best practice to have that eviction filing in process as an incentive for the tenant to move along quickly.As a note to others in a similar situation, what I've read here in the forums that I didn't adhere to was "stick to the lease" and if someone is a consistent problem, they're not going to turn on a dime and get better, you have to protect your investment and part ways when things aren't working.Any insight appreciated.

Of course looking at data leaves out some details for example it seems plausible that units with the extra half bathroom may have slightly better finishes than the property without the half bathroom. 

A finished product.Lessons learned?
