Think about your market and what people are willing to pay a premium for.

Few agents in the market understand seller finance and the many ways it can be structured, and few will sometimes promote it, but the rest are just risk averse.

I am seeing a trend in CA that ADU construction is more cost effective (per unit) than buying on the market by a long shot.

Logan county has the highest price per square foot new build in our market right now almost $400 per square foot.

I am an experienced investor and unexpectely find myself managing a duplex myself and wondering if there is a small landlord (aka inexpensive) simple solution for marketing, background checks and lease creation that markets on zillow?

Alas, this scenario didn't last very long, as you would expect in a free market capitalist society -- new money flood in, more STRs in supply, property prices increase, STR incomes decrease, until a new equilibrium is achieved.Nowadays, the word STR is being used to describe both the property and the business.

The reality in this market is that you would likely not have any funds left to return to them since it is unlikely to get re-rented so soon.

Any brokerage can be the right fit for you so long as you commit to taking initiative and putting in the work.By 'work', I mean income-producing activities (lead generation and follow-up) i.e. cold calling, door-knocking, contacting your sphere of influence, networking, hosting open houses, running online advertising, marketing (paper or online), or anything else that will get you in front of prospective clients.My first broker rarely answered my phone calls and by the time she responded, I'd often already have the answer I was looking for.
