@Nithin ThampiBuilding-to-Rent (BTR) communities are newly built neighborhoods designed for rental purposes, offering shared amenities, low maintenance, and attractive properties.

You mention your design is the "most ripped off design in real estate", I'd argue it is, right behind Carrot's sites :-).

An Architect can look out for your best interest in the project plus can bring all the Engineers necessary for the build (Civil, Structural, MEP, Sprinkler/Fire suppression, etc.)As far as the build itself, if it's in an established city or town on a tax lot, then you'll need to go through the design and permitting process, gain zoning approval if necessary, and then build up from there.

Personally I use Forefront, but its mostly designed for real estate leads.

I know this is a bold statement but spending 20 years there owning and loaning to out of state investors many times on the same home 2 to to 3 times and one landlord fails and another picks it up and has to remodel yet again.My tips are a gift to the employee not the business owner.

Save and wait unless you can find a killer seller financed deal.And by relative willing to lend  you $2000 - you will want to ensure it is a gift (a true one).There is a difference between lend and gift and it can have a meaningful impact on if those funds are valid for financing sake.

Don't have them do the actual building designs. 

We’re probably the only designers and contractors who would say no—unless you’re in the luxury STR space.Why?

While some say the handwritten look adds a certain authenticity, a well-designed sign with a clean logo could attract a different segment of sellers who may prefer dealing with someone who presents themselves professionally.

Disney themed rooms go a long, working with an interior designer will help a lot.
