That additional review layer definitely can add value in oversight and deal selection.

Pretty much the core of the STR business.Higher your rank gets, you can increase your price and be more picky in selecting customers which usually lead to a better review / less party or complaints / less expense and higher profit with a happy life.I know some people will argue, but the ranking system is the truth and should be the only guide to your STR journey. 

Never buy without personally inspecting and approving the property and INDEPENDENTLY, INDEPENDENTLY, INDEPENDENTLY, verifying everything from values to market rates, to approving tenant selection procedures and standards, to repairmen on standby, to everything else in Christendom that you can thing of.I am not a fan of out-of-state investing, especially for those with less than 50 years of experience, and for them, they’re probably too old for the hassle. 

They can take time with their search and be more selective about a property’s location and condition.

This email gives people yet another opportunity to self-select out of the application process based on my expectations and criteria before an actual showing in scheduled. 

Just go through them, select the renovated/closely matching ones, and enter them into a model.Here's my fix & flip model, you can see the comps entered and some quick stats below them: Then I use that comp data to adjust the Sale Price in the model to what I estimate it will be (double check the resale $/sf is in-line with the comps), then adjust the purchase price until I hit my desired return level. 

In some instances the select few who fall under this category will build for themselves and if they were to take up 3rd party work they would want upside.

Just find the tenant before you select the site/build the building because these companies have very specific requirements and they are not all the same. 

I use saved responses in Zillow messenger - I suppose I could try to integrate AI to automatically select a response based on certain criteria…But what else is taking you that long?
