Attend your local REI meetups to build up a strong network and feel free to reach out and connect with everyone in the community and find a mentor doing what you want to do.

Given that the property is located in a C/C+ neighborhood with a tenant pool that may not be the best, and with many neighbors owning pets, I'm debating whether to replace the carpet with LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) flooring from the outset.I have a cat, and while he's generally well-behaved, there's a chance he might pee on the carpet if he feels threatened by other animals (read: if the other animal is inside the same living space as him).

If you have specific questions or need further guidance, feel free to ask.
