How We Work

The Process

Keystone engagements fall into two tracks. Calls handle direction and quick reads. Written engagements handle deeper analysis and strategy. Here's what to expect from each.

Track One

For Calls

Strategy Call and New Investor Roadmap Call

01

Book Your Call

Use the booking link or email us at info@keystoneipc.com to schedule a time that works for you.

02

Brief Intake

A short form helps us prepare — nothing complicated, just the basics on what you want to discuss. For deal-specific calls, share whatever property details you have available so the conversation is as useful as possible.

03

The Conversation

We talk through your situation, the property or decision in front of you, the risks worth weighing, and the questions worth asking. Honest, focused, and built around what you actually need to figure out.

04

What's Next

If deeper work makes sense, we'll outline what that could look like. If the call gave you what you needed, we'll tell you that. We'd rather point you in the right direction than recommend work that doesn't fit.

Track Two

For Written Engagements

Property Analysis & Strategy, Underperforming Property Plan, Portfolio Review

01

Initial Conversation

Start with an Intro Call (up to 15 minutes) so we can confirm the engagement is the right match before any paid work begins. We talk through your situation, the property or portfolio in question, and the decision you're trying to make.

If we don't think we can deliver useful analysis — because the market data is too thin, the property records are incomplete, or the scope isn't a fit — we'll tell you upfront. We'd rather turn down a project than take it on without being able to deliver value.

02

Engagement Letter

We send an engagement letter outlining the scope, deliverables, timeline, and pricing. Once it's signed, a short intake form captures the property details we need to begin.

03

Analysis & Underwriting

This is where the real work happens. We review the property, the market, the numbers, the financing, the rent strategy, the renovation scope (if applicable), and the exit options. Where information is missing, we ask.

04

Strategy & Recommendation

You receive a written strategy document with our findings and clear recommendations. We then schedule a review call to walk through the work, answer questions, and discuss next steps.

05

Decision Support

Your engagement includes a review call to walk through the report and answer questions. For 30 days after delivery, we're available for brief clarifications about the report itself. New information, changing circumstances, or additional analysis is handled through a new engagement.

Clear scope. Clear deliverables. Clear timeline.

Ready When You Are.

Whether it's a quick call or a deeper engagement, the first step is the same: a conversation about what you're working through.
