Ideally, it would not need something like Zapier to connect tools, as that adds to the costs and can be clunky. 

I also have a contractors license and I am good at seeing value but I’ve never sold anything.

@Kenroy BernardTo acquire a multifamily property in Long Island, develop a VA Loan Strategy, obtain pre-qualification from a lender, factor in renovation costs, conduct market research, build a team with experienced agents, network with investors, strengthen your business plan, expand knowledge through tools, and take action by searching for properties, attending open houses, and setting a closing timeframe.

I successfully run 1 STR and have a 2nd that an inherited PM handles.I have Vrbo and Airbnb they will sync with each other with no external software.I set pricing easily by using the built in tools that Vrbo provides.Automated messages are built into both platforms.Vrbo keeps my calendar slammed, but I take direct bookings as needed, simple to do.I have no additional 3rd party fees to very sucessfuly run and manage my property needing only a a few minutes per week.

It's been cut up, sold off and dispersed through the generations but our little piece is still where I like to call home.

In other words, I expect low, if any, appreciation over the next few years.A similar investment in the S&P 500 would have yielded a 25% return if sold today.

They are usually worth every dollar plus some (things like dynamic pricing software and property management software like Hospitable if you like the tools). 

For instance my 90 lot subdivision at one point I had 90 legal descriptions and parcels on one master deed.. as I sold them off we just deeded them out separately.. its super common especially in older platted cities were lots might have been small like 25 X 100 and someone bought 3 of them and then built one home on all three.. some places they force merge them others you can go back and recreate the Old lots of record.. there is millions upon millions made by those that know how to find shadow plats and bring to life underlying parcels.
