.: I’m currently renovating a rental property and exploring ways to manage costs without compromising on quality.

I agree that pricing a rental too high is a classic mistake than can make it sit, but don't you think encouraging landlords to rent quick will make them compromise on the vetting of the tenants?

You can compromise without loosing good paying tenants if they pay on time. 

I want to try and offset as much cost as possible without compromising quality so I’m looking for a GC mentor who could help me eat, breathe, sleep and wake GC lol.

Additionally, working in a small-town market taught us how to effectively price properties for faster sales without compromising profit.

So my inclination is to compromise her 50% request payment to 25% as stated by Mark and Martin. 

If your mental health is compromised by looking at deals, you should stop.

We compromised on the desing as well as the tenant. 

It's rare to find a market where everything is positive, so how do you prioritize those you aren't willing to compromise and those you have wiggle room on?

A duplex could be a great compromise that lets you start small, build equity, and learn the ropes while mitigating some of the financial risks.
