I’m not saying he shouldn’t have tried to respond faster, but that’s hardly an emergency.

Hiring a licensed contractor will get the job done right and quicker so you can rent the property faster.

If you want to go faster, double down and work 12-16 hours per day. 

I could have taken some time off from work to get the rehab done a little faster.

I'd start by contacting a local agent or broker and they should be able to help you with finding a policy (almost all my units have fireplaces or some kind of fuel burning stove)

Paying contractors to get it done faster doesn't equate (I do hire them to get core systems and structures done right). 

But typically, lowering your housing and other expenses, will position you to grow financially faster, if that's your goal.

You’ll rent it for more and faster, by far.

Use a cpa to help you learn-get up on the learning curve faster.

Working backwards from the big goal and physically writing down the smaller steps relieved the fear of the big goal.I personally have quite a ways to go with mine, but the little wins are boosting the confidence and fueling the momentum quite a bit!
