Hi there - first time poster (and can't figure out how to search the forums yet!)

So far, no calls for repairs, so what should I be thinking about and doing to maximize the time I have each month.

There's a few other things to think about too: 1 - Possible owner financing if he wants to still get a stream of income into retirement at an attractive rate compared to the rest of the market (win/win scenario, you don't need to come up with as much cash, and he makes a little $ on the %) 2 - Consider a post possession if he needs some time to move out but needs the cash up front for whatever reason 3 - Leave all the furniture/junk in the property and you'll handle clean up etc. 

I would advise against an "all-in-one" product but probably not a lot of time to go into that here so, let me just answer the question - try some local real estate meetup groups in your area.

The main challenge was ensuring the renovations were completed on time, but our efficient project management overcame this hurdle.

It depends on the market but we are finding it a great time to buy.

Luckily, the brother left at the agreed on time and I was able to being the renovation.

We help clients answer this question all the time as it comes up a lot these days.

Even with the pickiest buyers who took some time, you at least weren't competing with 20+ other offers once you found the right one.
