Having the contractor relationship in place to move quickly and provide a high quality renovation at a reasonable price.

@Nicholas A. your shotgun approach has a high probability of getting the exact quality you put into it.95%+ of real estate agent, many of them posting they are "investor-friendly", only know how to deal with owner-occupied transactions. 

Some people will say, "Take out a quality Insurance Policy and you will be protected."

Start with durable, high-quality basics: plush towels, soft linens, and a fully stocked kitchen with sharp knives, pans, and essentials like oil and spices.

Even still, it could be said that I've still lost money due to my time on the tools instead of prospecting as a real estate agent (the cost of lost opportunity).If you can truly do 80%-90% of the work yourself (at acceptable quality levels) and you aren't sacrificing your time where you can get better returns for your efforts, then yes, it can work even up here in Canada.

Maybe start with a part-time ops manager or a reliable lead cleaner to free up your time while keeping quality high.

Also, if you need a quality GC in the Charlotte and surrounding area please reach out!

Do it very intentionally, not just for the sake of scaling up, but to get better quality or easier to manage properties that will replace lower quality or harder properties.
