By doing this, you may optimize leverage and maybe raise your return on investment.In the real estate industry, having patience is crucial, but you also need to act.

As long as you buy in optimal areas for STRs and run good deal #s, you should definitely do well here

Or a better way to optimize Zillow.

Once your cash flow needs are met, you start to think more about your net worth, the headaches comming from tenants etc - the focus is to optimize for more long term revenue and less work.

Step one in optimizing your listing might be to set up a simple website with a landing page, event calendar and blog so you can become the hub of information for people traveling to that area. 

I tried looking up on the City web site but could not find either.

So optimizing your draws will improve your return.

Yes indeed mate.I probably would have fixed the rate also but "underwritten" the deal from a worst case rate scenario like I would do with SFH if financing.I'm not versed in large multifamily deals and would love to learn more.I think I could really do some "damage" in the field because I own and run a property management company and we run a tight ship that's very well optimized from an automation aspect and affiliate fee structure standpoint.So my bottom line for example buying a 50 or 100 unit would be much safer/higher due to in-house PM and "working" the margin.

If you're optimum exit strategy on a deal is to flip it, saving 10% on taxes by holding for an extra 6-12 months seems sub-optimal to me.On the other hand, if you'd be holding cash now to buy rentals later, but you find some really good rentals now, there's no reason to wait.
