Practice, practice, practice.Also, be careful asking for investor-friendly agents!

Here are a few practical things I look for: 1.

The renovation focused on practical, market-driven upgrades rather than over-improvement.

We do have an easement through BLM land to reach our property, and then a private easement that leads directly to our parcel — so legal access is there — but practical, easy access to the top?

I’d suggest comparing the scope of work and total cost carefully, but in my experience, they has been a practical option for deals of this size.

Let's not start with "sudden" repairs, fees, and delayed tenant placement practices.

If those timing methods don’t match, totals won’t reconcile.A practical way to simplify year-end reporting is to track:• Gross rental income (per booking)• Platform/service fees separately• Cleaning fees separately• Refunds/adjustments separatelyThen reconcile monthly to actual deposits received from each OTA.

The renovation focused on practical improvements such as updated flooring, fresh paint, and key interior enhancements designed to improve functionality and buyer appeal.

Mine is practically fully renovated (did it myself over time while living here) as in fully tiled bathrooms, huge master bedroom/bath, refinished original hardwood floors, kitchen cabinets with plenty of granite countertop space, stainless steel appliances, etc.

A lot of wholesalers skip this step and end up sitting on contracts they cannot move because they misread the local market.For Atlanta, the 70% rule is still the baseline most flippers use, but in practice it depends on the exit strategy and the neighborhood.
