The Day-Zero Method — Why Some Apartment Turns Take 5 Days and Others Take 21

What's Inside
The method, start to finish
The day-by-day method
Day 0 through Day 6, in order and explained: what happens each day, which days are conditional, and how the sequence keeps every crew moving without collisions.
Killing dead days
Where turns actually lose their weeks — the waiting between trades — and how Day 0 decisions and same-morning ordering squeeze that waiting out of the schedule.
Who It's For
