That pace feels pretty good to me...I can get past the "rookie mistake" phase of my career before there is investor money on the line, and I can "fail small" because SFRs and small multifamily doesn't hurt as much as larger properties when things go wrong.Timing had a role, too.

We have booked guests while finishing up the construction phase. 

Since I'm a newbie, I am still in the shiny object phase...need those voices of reason in my life! 

If you can maximize all 3, then you've also created a very wide lead funnel, which is less common in multifamily properties.Maximizing "pets" means you're removing carpet, allowing at least 2 pets including cats and larger dogs > 50 lbs, access to a fully fenced-in yard or walking distance to a dog park, leniency on breed restrictions (depends on insurance, your risk tolerance, due diligence with pets during inquiry phase), pet friendly furniture (e.g. faux leather couch, low pile rugs if at all), etc.

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.

I'm more involved with Instagram these days :PI'm currently stuck at the "pick your market" phase.

I'm asking him to gather all these docs for me (and he is) but I'm wondering if that's even the norm, or if most investors look over all that during the due diligence phase.

Lastly if your not sold on any market yet I have always done very well in and enjoyed military markets.

Killeen is a good cash flow market, but you have to buy in the right area and also time your tenant turnover to the Permanent Change of Station (PCS) season since it is predominately military town
