The environmental sensitivity of dry cleaners can be an issue but it sounds like you have it under control.The accounting issues you indicate are typical but a seasoned lender can easily understand and navigate the lending process.

We were tempted to glue down vinyl plank (we had luck with pressure sensitive glue in another rental), but it seems like that will require us to add a subfloor.

I'm aware and sensitive to fair housing laws.

Look at the progress but also take note if they mention any other issues that come up.Sounds to me from what you have stated that this is a time sensitive issue... so tell that to your GC and make them understand that's a priority.

This type of program is better suited to investments that involve frequent or time-sensitive transactions. 

Just wondering whether this a common practice and I’m being overly sensitive.

I don't know how time sensitive your deals are.

Feel free to PM if anything is sensitive and you can share what you feel comfortable with on the forum later.
