Great point about different states and markets having different laws about using evictions as a reason for denial! 

Would love to hear more about your plans and see how the market is shaping up for investors.

I was sent an offering memo by a broker selling a multi-family building in an area no reasonable person would even consider affordable housing material yet the marketing materials made a point of emphasis to detail how the property would satisfy the need for affordable housing.

I’m brainstorming ideas on how I can market myself to potential mentors in the STR game in order to gain experience.

You picked a great community to join.. have you checked out local comps to gauge the market vibe yet?

Study the market.

And when an all brick 5+ unit comes to the market it is grabbed up incredibly quickly and oftentimes on future value not todays value and current NOI.

Pushing into other, close-by, markets is the best (and maybe only) way to make it work.

In our market (Charlotte,NC), the RE Attorney we work with mentioned that the majority of the evictions he saw in 2024 were from zillow applications!

Any marketing should always be based on the information provided by sellers in a deal.
