Studios tend to turn over even faster than 1 bedroom apartments at my places. 

But realize that a professional will likely make it look better and be done much faster than you. 

I used to like to use self-adhesive wall repair fabric, but it's a lot more money and the fiberglass screening works just fine.The problem with hiring this out in my area is that there are very few guys who are both good at it and cheap out there, and many if not most of the low-end bidders will screw you on long-lasting quality to get the job done faster.

Question 1: Is it possible to close faster than 30 days?

While with multifamily homes, scaling is faster.

We’re better together in that way, and when you consider the effect of getting started a year or two faster (but based in wisdom), the effects are stunning.Find a trustworthy, skilled one and borrow their team!  

TLDR: lock up my available cash in seller financing for more cash flow faster?

A good maintenance contractor is worth their weight in gold - pay them well unless you enjoy unclogging backed up sewer lines at 2 am.10.

If so, rolling that over into San Antonio might be the faster option due to you already knowing the area and having a comfort level with it.If not, then maybe wait until you get settled in wherever you move to determine where you want to invest.2. 

I would probably put more weighting on what type of debt they have on their credit report.
