For the bottom of the commercial market, properties not deemed worthy of Loopnet, a lot of driving around, using Cagis or similar GIS databases to get owners' name and addresses, and putting notes and business cards in doors is an alternative to Loopnet (I don't know about Crexi).

A complete house remodel and design.

All that will happen is that the charity will send you rent designated for that tenant.  

Lots of moving parts...and it's wonderful to be able to start with a blank canvas and design exactly what you want to build (as opposed to retrofitting based on the restrictions of an existing older structure).  

Tax (and often even zoning) designation don't change the comps for what it physically exists as.Is a residential appraiser telling you this, or are you basing this assessment only on your own understanding of these classifications? 

I’d like to point out that when you buy a property in another market for use as a short term rental, you can designate it as a vacation property and only need to pay 10% down.

This belief led me to pursue a career in kitchen remodeling, and I am proud to run Evolution Home Improvement LLC, a business dedicated to transforming kitchens into beautiful, functional spaces across New Jersey.Over the years, I have seen firsthand how a well-designed kitchen can enhance the value and appeal of a property.

I am married to a successful interior designer who serves luxury clients but can work with me to make rental properties look great for half the cost with her knowledge of what makes the most impact.

We use Streamline which is a legacy provider but it is cumbersome and designed for larger scale PM operations (trust accounting, owner portals, etc etc).Just a few integrations we use: Lynx (locks), BookingPal (channel manager), EZCare (HK/Maint Ops), RevMax (Pricing) - There are more, thats off the top of my head. 

The management LLC does literally all management activities-- hire PMs, hires contractors for renovations, hires the legal experts for other stuff, buys STR furniture, hires interior designers for STRs, hires pest control, etc.
