The first unit went faster (occupied in Feb 1) and the other unit was filled March 1st.

Here's the deal, I was asking for faster ways to make money with creative rei strategies.

I'm on my 3rd rental property and bringing on extra debt to scale faster is very tempting but I'm trying to stay as frugal as possible and do a lot of the repairs myself to keep the debt down as much as possible so I can be in a good position to eventually have a story like yours. 

Yes, this can be a huge time saver especially if your jurisdiction considers this an "addition" instead of a "new construction" which generally makes it easier and faster to get a permit.

I'm talking start to finishAppraisal, underwriters, inspection, title search, etc...From a real bank for conventional loan.Hard/private money is faster which could be more likely for you a flipper...BUT if you're selling to FHA or similar it's going to be closer to 60 days to close on the buyer side...

this cost a lot of people their jobs and they fired like 50 people because the machine can process things more accurately and faster. 

Plus, aging more for an experienced team will likely be less expensive because they can do it faster and faster saves money in holding costs and opportunity costs.

If I was younger, I would start out harder and faster!

Approval process is much faster and rules are much more relaxed.I recently got permit approval in SJ (Willow Glen) for a 630 sqft attached ADU + 170 sqft addition to the existing unit.
