I have been less active on the investor homefront dealing with an unexpected curveball I got thrown in life.Still have big goals for Q1 2025: -Get Pre Qual'd for VA construction loan(may be until later in the quarter as I also have to refi out of my current VA loan to regain full entitlement.

The investment side of the REIT is purchasing the loans from their subsidiary lenders at cost -- it even says so in their 10k's / quarterly meetings. 

I lost it a year later after a Javascript injection looted something like a quarter of all bitcoin wallets.

RE meetups that have helped me are very specific to San Francisco Bay Area market (sales and median rents in the last year and last quarter) so I'd recommend finding a meet up or session that might address your local market and if that's a viable option for you to invest in. 

We're also able to evaluate our rates, and keep pace with inflation, on a monthly and quarterly basis because of shorter term leases.Now we syndicate larger self-storage deals and work with passive investors.

I have heard a lot of that 1x per quarter is max.  

The top chart below quickly shows you what the renovated, avg and distressed homes sell for in that area on a $/sf basis over time, so if you are estimating way over the top line, you instantly know something is off, maybe you have an outlier comp on your hands, etc.It doesn't have STR data, because any STR we build must also pencil as a LTR to avoid being upside down if it doesn't workout, so we use normal residential lease data when underwriting our rentals.As for forecasts on the market, I don't do any aside from the current Q trending % at the footer of the charts, and it's really just the current Q's average data/performance held constant and applied to the rest of the quarter (since not fully done with Q yet).

Inflation whether due to material costs, material shortages, labor shortages, labor wage hikes, or just increase growth demands, etc won't be curtailed starting 4th quarter of next year.

The property has about a quarter mile of street access, and no trees or anything to block it, so I wanted to put something there to give a little privacy anyway, and then these trees obviously have to go, so I was hoping to re-use them.

They may not take on new clients in the first quarter of busy season.
