As a counter argument, depending on the scope of the project, it may make sense for economies of scale to have everyone out at once.  

You can concurrently run your renovation project whilst looking for suitable conventional financing. 

Hi folks,For those of you who are doing multiple properties at the same time, how are you managing your construction projects?

Can anyone with some knowledge about this give me the run down this type of project? 

I wrote a BiggerPockets blog post about how to find comps and calculate ARV, hope it comes in handy:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/8814/68395-how-to-find-real-estate-comps-and-calculate-after-repair-valueI've also written about how to estimate repair costs:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/8814/72452-how-to-estimate-construction-costs-for-these-29-common-rehab-projects

I have been interviewing GC's, getting references from them, examples of projects they have completed, and anaylizing if they are "investor friendly".

I learned from other investors that they will rarely refer contractors as it takes time away from their projects.

But every reno project I've ever done has a list of "I wish I'd have done that different" items. 

(easy to think)"Don't get emotional, invest in projects where the numbers make sense."

After remodeling I hope to tap into the forced equity to fund other projects and also rent or sell when I move away in a few years.
