For a all of the before, rehab and complete images along with the nitty gritty details, I actually kept a weekly blog here on BP you can check out here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/67/topics/442...Any other questions, please feel free to send at any time. 

It seemed like it took mine several weeks just to get started on the repairs that were needed.  

Then placed the 2nd tenant within 2 weeks after that.

It seems like I chose a desirable area to live and around the time the reno should be done (week of Oct 2nd) I may expect to have a tenant that week or the week after.This place was bought with hard money, 20% down.

But, I don't have to do any of the major upgrades that I was planning (floors, electrical, counters, paint) immediately and can get positive cash flow immediately.If she decides to move on, then I make the improvements and put it back on the market at $900-$950 within 2-3 weeks. and get what I talked about above.So. 

Lucky me, I'm in the 1%.I was just wondering about this very issue last evening as I was copying endless receipts in preparation for my audit next week...can I write off the cost of the paper and toner?

I suggest checking your reports on creditkarma.com, possibly every week.

However, it has been 3 weeks after closing but there has been no deal despite activities of showing and open houses.

But if the mean time I have put in 5 or 10 offers a week, with follow up, comps, feed back, and counter offers ,etc that is a more then enough for one agent.   

I have been analyzing Delray Beach, FL for the last couple of weeks, and I feel I know enough to make educated guesses on deals on that market, all I need is an input of deals.
