Several of my STR investor clients here in Colorado have used a designer, and they generally pick a few statement pieces that they spend money on and then go with FB marketplace  or even IKEA for smaller items. 

The question I will ask is would rather step or a dollar to pick a dime or just pick up the dollar?  

If you haven't picked a market yet, I invested in Jacksonville Florida and would be happy to discuss why

You can then pick and choose what you want to do with the property.

I am looking into a deal and would like some advice and have people pick at it and let me know what I am missing in this proposed deal.I am a small real estate investor so far, I have 4 SFH rentals, 2 in Colorado where I live, and 2 in Texas.

I analyzed over 20 markets and picked three so there are a lots of markets to choose from.Start networking on bigger pockets as well as attend local meetups and REIs to find referrals for GC, PM, broker, TKP, lender, property inspector etc.

There are many times the architect/engineer gets busy doing other jobs and forgets your plans at the city or delays picking them up/making corrections 4.

I'd love to connect and pick your brain about the area. 

And for the implementation and testing of these, have people tried to change over in the course of a month or picked a reliable tenant as a tester or something in between?
