Make it worthwhile. 

We keep the finishes clean and modern but cost-effective — LVP flooring, shaker cabinets, and simple trim details that photograph and show really well.We’ve also built a few similar duplexes for turnkey clients, and they’ve had strong success with both rent-up and ongoing performance.For us, this model has proven to be:Scalable (our team can handle more new builds than rehabs)Predictable (fewer surprises than remodels)Attractive to tenants and investors alikeCurious if anyone else here is building new construction rentals — how are your numbers looking in your market?

But seems the growth in the long run of stocks over my low ROE might make it worth while and would have less landlord issues with the property being sold.

Quote from @Jason Sensat: I have the details on a four-unit property.

It would probably be worthwhile to hire a consultant for this component to point you in the right direction if you dont have any lending experience.

If it is more stuff like minor details, QC and other stuff I think you wait till it is fully ready for listing. 

@Kyle Mccaw, would you recommend verifast or plaid to someone that is managing 1 - 2 properties or does this expense only become worthwhile with a larger property count.

When marketing a note, what package of info gets the best responses? I currently include payment history, loan docs, property photos, and title search summary. Anything I’m missing that buyers consistently ask for up ...

When it comes to structuring a deal, most developers focus on the capital gap — but lenders focus on readiness.Over the last few years, I’ve noticed that deals move faster (and get better terms) when the borrower has a clean due diligence stack ready before approaching mezzanine or bridge lenders.Here’s a quick checklist we use internally before structuring mezzanine capital between $1M–$100M+ :✅ Updated project financials✅ Detailed pro forma with realistic DSCR assumptions✅ Rent roll or trailing 12-month P&L✅ Capital stack breakdown showing senior + subordinate layers✅ Clear exit or refinance planHaving these ready builds lender confidence and speeds up funding timelines.💡 Curious — for those of you who’ve raised mezzanine or bridge capital recently:What’s one document or metric lenders focused on the most during your due diligence?
