Keep an eye on all the fine details.

Make homes as functional as possible. This home I opened up 2 walls, in the foyer area which really opened up the home and consequently added lots of natural light. I also moved the kitchen to make it bigger and I changed it from a 5 bedroom to a 4 bedroom with a primary bath and walk in closet.
Keep as much of old charm as possible. Replacing damaged stain glass window pieces, refurbishing the pocket doors that were covered up and broken, kept the old trim work intact when possible, exposed the brick on fireplaces and refurbished the old fireplaces!

-Modernize Cincinnati (Featured Property: purchase $200K sold $565,500)

Build a detailed tasked based budget & schedule upfront, defining critical path for tight monitoring and oversight. Conduct weekly budget and schedule reviews and be prepared to modify and adjust on the fly.
Invest (time & $) into yourself, learning every aspect of this business from accredited resources within your network, online, or through local groups within the industry.

Research is Key: Extensive market research is vital before investing in any property. Understanding neighborhood dynamics, property values, and potential pitfalls can make or break a project.
Teamwork Matters: Building a strong network of professionals, from contractors to real estate agents, has been crucial. Their expertise complements our vision and ensures successful outcomes.
Adaptability: The real estate market is ever-changing. We have learned to adapt to market trends, financial fluctuations, and unforeseen circumstances to stay resilient.
Community Empowerment: We firmly believe that our success is intertwined with the prosperity of our community. We actively seek opportunities to involve local talent, create jobs, and enhance property values.
Quality and Integrity: We prioritize the quality of work and materials in every project. Our integrity is non-negotiable, ensuring that our properties meet and exceed industry standards.
Schedule and align the process on which trades go first. Focus on breaking everything down first then build it back up starting with electrical, plumbing, framing. Get your baseline in perspective then place all your walls back up so that now you can move into your carpentry/finishing work. Take things that look big and chunk them into small pieces to simply each project.
