It justifies the property selling for greater than just market appreciationI do owner builder rehabs but sometimes use contractors for large work scope or scope beyond expertise.  

Curious if anyone else is using AI for real estate marketing—whether for video, staging, or even writing listing descriptions.

I've been studying different real estate strategies and would love to understand more about how the permitting process is evolving in that area.Did the realtor mention any specific changes in local ordinances, or was it more of a general observation based on market trends?

It sucks but is the best way that I know to hit the fast forward button on your investing journey - especially in the current market.

I'd recommend looking at costs. your build cost is going to be well over other homes because of the fixed costs like slab, Hvac, roof, etc. check the market drivers and weight the benefits of short term versus long term. long term is no furniture and help pays mortgage but at this size it doesn't really cover everything. we didn't find a lot of economies of scale in single family detached. can you build more than one unit?

I'm starting a property management company and I'm curious to know how people have marketed themselves online.

It is not that good at the price point of DC or in my market (but better than my market).  

There are really great REI opportunities in different markets - markets in the Midwest and Southeast of the country are particularly lucrative - where not only are the purchase prices reasonable for most RE investors, but the homes are turnkey (new builds or completely rehabbed homes, tenant ready, systems 10 years of life remaining on them, property management teams in place) with appreciating home value AND appreciating rent.

This property has a ton of deferred maintenance but I'm purchasing it well below market value and I have a decent budget. 

Lol.They have decent deals from time to time, but they are usually volume based, not in tune with market, and more motivated to push a sale than to really see if a deal is good or not.
