Of course Huntsville but maybe it's too saturated?

Currently a majority of the existing mixed use buildings have the commercial space shuttered with the owners just biding their time until the real estate prices make sense for them to rent out or sell - or they are just asking way too much in rents for any businesses to survive for very long.

I understand home designs are pretty expensive, and cannot just be applied to any lot/existing neighborhood.

Recognizing its strategic location behind two of my existing investment properties, I approached the owner directly.

Not only to cover the existing issues but the expected issues that will crop up as the house ages.

Short term rentals are a way to increase cashflow, but more and more markets are saturated with STRs which has eroded this strategy.

You are trying to sell him a pipedream (and, as usual, your SEO services) on wholesaling, which does not exist in NYC and the boroughs.Why don't you try to do it in NYC and see how it goes?

Brics has a sales pitch that's hard to deny "F-the US dictating how you exist" and to most countries in the world, that pitch sounds really nice.

Looking into the STR market, i would suggest a couple things to include into your property search. 1) the STR market is very saturated here so look for something unique or offer unique amenities to your guests, this will help your property stand out 2) different set of rules for properties located within city limits vs without i.e. outside city limits doesn’t require a permit which the city is cracking down on the amount of STRs on any given street or neighborhood 3) HOA is a big deterrence as a lot of HOAs don’t want any rentals of less than 30 days so an in depth search into covenants and by laws would be doing your due diligence.

Hopefully a) they meet/exceed my expectations over time and b) more auditable info/data comes into existence based on the experience of Flock shareholders, in contrast to the rather limited info/data that exists today.
