Embarassing self-reply, but if anyone on the internets stumbles on this one. 

It went from a rundown home and outdated in every aspect to an up to date property that I rented for 2 and a half years then sold What was the outcome?

I would recommend making use of all the free resources available through BiggerPockets and the internet.

The ground floor was redesigned for retail units, while the upper floors were converted into modern, open-concept office spaces.Modern Amenities: Introduced features like energy-efficient lighting, upgraded HVAC systems, and high-speed internet infrastructure.Aesthetic Upgrade: Refreshed the façade with contemporary materials while preserving historical elements to maintain its character.OutcomesIncreased Occupancy: The property went from 40% to 95% occupancy within six months of renovation.Higher Rental Rates: Upgraded spaces commanded rental rates 30% higher than before.Enhanced Property Value: The property's appraised value increased by 50% post-renovation.Investor's ROIBy investing in smart architectural design, the investor not only revitalized a neglected property but also significantly boosted their ROI through higher rental income and property appreciation.

You'll want to take a spreadsheet and create a list of all properties you've purchased...particularly in the last 36 months and include the address, lender, purchase date, either rent you receive or disposition date, how much you sold it for, how much you rehabbed it, etc.

The emotional support animals are pets with papers you can buy off the internet. 

Then track the date a maintenance issue was reported, description of the problem, who it was assigned to, when it's estimated to be completed, when it was completed, date/amount paid, etc.It doesn't have to be fancy.

I joined various internet marketing programs and mentorships to find ways to transition from my W2 job.

I'm curious what more experienced investors will leave to finish repairing after they list the property, but before they start to show it (or lease it).I start the marketing about two weeks prior to completion, with an advertised availability date of one week after completion.

Or should we sign the contract now and set the execution date for two weeks later?
