Contractors are super busy nowadays.

Each STR unit that I would erect here would cost in the ballpark of 3k each and I won't elaborate any more on that.

In Franklinton there are plenty of large projects going on that will bring massive growth to the west side of Columbus, such as the Peninsula Development, which is a multiphase project that will erect a 24 story apartment complex featuring a grocery store, a multi use office space building, and a new hotel featuring a two-story Pins Mechanical venue.

It is different for the elderly couple who has lived in their house for 30 years and now has a large building constructed directly next door and wants to erect a fence that exceeds the max height allowed.

Though I would say its a very saturated market nowadays I would consider something like as service based business if your goal is to get started with large cashflow 

Nowadays, it feels as if everyone is inventing fees to charge and there is no consistency across lenders anymore. 

However my understanding is that with or without just cause landlord cannot move the tenant out easily in San Diego nowadays.

Hi Jaden,I'm not a fan of hybrid turnkey models like the companies you mention.Also, not a fan of many turnkey marketing companies.Granted, I'm bias but if anyone is interested in turnkey just go straight to the provider.Not many around these days anymore and the one's that are, have stood the test of time and are obviously solid.I think it's less riskier nowadays to invest in turnkey properties than before because all of the poor providers have disappeared and only the good one's are still around.Plus, seems like the "hands off" and so beloved syndications are going belly up so turnkey might be in fashion again.And no big deal IMO that turnkey is not completely "hands off".Is anything completely passive other than 30yr Treasury Bonds?

Ok @James McGovern, I will let you know how I DO get discounting from builders, and nowadays I all but exclusively do this with BIG builders, yes even some nationals. 

This can be an advantage as smaller investors are far more nimble and get things done much faster than the big banks.There's a reason that pools nowadays are heavy with notes in slow moving states.
