Most syndicators (myself included) don't have that liquidity or social presence (of millions) to close and then raise equity.In my opinion and watching Grant for past 3 years- he's a smart businessman and excellent marketer. 

The data shows a significant appreciation in larger homes' prices and a notable interest in luxury and new apartments.Invest in substantial renovations with high-quality finishes, modern amenities, and possibly smart home technology to attract the upper-end market.

I recommend using your resources to your advantage but doing it the smart way and being patient 

But, point is it's smart not to bake-in a definite high appreciation rate in the near future - that should be a potential bonus, not a feature.

It is smart to take advantage of these high income years to invest in assets, but you want to set yourself up for success.

I think that is smart. 

Your goals should follow the SMART criteria: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound.

If not then you could just put in a smart thermostat and lock it but you are inevitably going to have people unhappy with the temperature.
