So basically, had the 1hr strategy with them I have 3 units and they explained that they provide education and coaching to teach people how to increase their revenue ever month, in addition to improving their processes effectively automating their short-term rental business.

I am in the process of building my CORE 4 in DFW area. 

One other thing to look for in a future architect, is one that has a track record of working with developers AND knows the entitlement processes for the very specific type of development you are doing.

He is an investor, investor focused agent that specializes in short term rental, can assist with the staging process and also has a property management company as well.

Maybe some markets the foreclosure process is easier than evictions, but not in my market.   

So even if new construction were to pick back up, it would take at least two years for anything to hit the market.What I really like about this area is how difficult it is to build and how long the permitting process takes. 

This starts with contracts but also extends to communicating expectations during the construction process.

When I was active, the O-4 Good Idea Fairies always tried to re-invent how we did business, and 95% of the time, they overcomplicated a simple process making our lives way harder.

However, beyond the repair aspect, I would also caution that you understand the auction process and how properties go to auction, who is foreclosing, and why.
