Would need to know about locations of your buildings and current rents to see if there is anything that can be done now to get numbers a bit better.

Core values and faith-based messaging can be powerful, but they often get co-opted as a marketing tool to build trust.To tie it all together, many of these programs introduce a group or community.

Or building out systems like CRMs.

Lots of great info on here as well, and like they're saying the best thing to do is to find an experience broker / realtor who can help you navigate which neighborhoods to target and which ones to stay away from, as well helping you to build out your team for property managers, lenders, inspectors, contractors, ect.

I used to have a two bedroom apartment that I lived in and I would rent out the second room on Airbnb and one time I got a guest and she would leave her windows open.
