Nine steps. Thirty days.
Every JMI Capital property flows through the same disciplined nine-step lifecycle. Standardized execution is what separates a platform from a one-off operator — and it is what allows us to compress the full acquisition-to-resale cycle into roughly 30 days while maintaining quality.
A walk through every step.
Deal Sourcing & Initial Review
On + off-market channels via agent relationships, direct outreach, wholesalers, local referrals. Aligns with location, demand, and execution criteria.
Preliminary Underwriting
Acquisition price, renovation scope, resale potential, rental demand validated via comparable sales and neighborhood analysis.
Contractor Walkthrough
Licensed contractor in-person walkthrough. Line-item repair costs to eliminate uncertainty. Conservative ARV validation.
Acquisition Pricing & Contract
Purchase price negotiated, contracts executed, earnest money secured. Title/escrow coordination begins immediately.
Property Acquisition
Company closes and takes title. Insurance activated, utilities secured, property prepared for renovation.
Renovation & Execution
Pre-approved scope and budget. JMI manages timelines, contractor performance, and quality control. Inspections enforce rental-readiness standards.
Post-Renovation Validation
Property appraised to confirm value vs. projections. Lender/documentation requirements addressed for investor financing.
Investor Alignment & Resale
Property sold to investor aligned with market-renter or Section 8 strategy. Title transfers from JMI to investor at funding.
Leasing Transition
Property transitioned to third-party PM partner. Expected tenant-ready and leased within ~30 days. Asset enters stabilized rental operation.
Speed compounds returns.
Where traditional flippers complete a cycle every six months and institutional hedge funds tie capital up for years, JMI completes the full cycle in roughly 30 days.
This velocity differential is the core economic engine of the JMI platform. The same dollar of capital can complete acquisition → renovation → resale cycles multiple times per year — compounding margin capture without proportional fixed-cost expansion.
How the math works.
An illustrative single-property cycle, showing acquisition, renovation, resale, and rental yield economics.
Underwriting target: monthly rent at or above 1.25% of purchase price (vs. the standard 1.0% market rule). On this example, the investor receives $1,350/mo on a $113,000 acquisition — an annual rent of $16,200 and a 14.3% gross yield. Every property is underwritten to clear defined thresholds before we acquire.
