To CORRECTLY do Build-4-Rent there is never HOPE of appreciation, there is CERTAINTY, mathematical data and insight driven CERTAINTY, knowledge of the appreciation to come. 

In 2021, after completing the BiggerPockets STR course and analyzing market data, we transitioned the property to a fully furnished premium short-term rental after the tenant moved out.

Here is my current set up:1) ShowMojo for managing the self showing listings (It has some self showing anti-fraud services, syncs with smart lockbox to issues codes, etc etc)2) CodeBox Jr smart lockbox where I have the keys3) ReoLink Go Plus Cellular Camera with a $5 per month T mobile data only sim card.

Ask agent to do final walk-thru video to send to you to confirm quality of work BEFORE final payment to contactor.8) List the property for sale.NOTE: we're heading into winter/holidays when all real estate activity slows.

Shoeboxed lets you snap pictures of paper receipts, extracting data and syncing with accounting tools.

I finally have a plan from the engineer.

We just pass a transit referendum too, which will finally allow matching money to flow to the city for the first time. 

Real Estate CRM software stores organized data about leads and customers, such as personal information, communication, and purchase history.

Then they finally get hit with reality and understand it's not easy, so they move on to the next thing like selling cruises or bitcon. 

Thank you KC, These are excellent points that I'll be weighing over the next weeks as I make my final decision.
