We will cut the grass, shovel the snow, pay the utilities.

One of his deals took him 2 years to put together, but when the contracts were signed - before a shovel even hit the ground - he made $250,000,000.

Personally I found the whole training stuff they pump at KW worthless, but that's me, I saw plenty eating it up with a shovel, never saw it make a penny of difference in there production and income but they were happy as a Hindu Cow after those things.

So that 4 bedroom luxury home you bought in a vacation market (ahem...Florida) is not going to work as an MTR because you want to rent it by the room at a high rate to cover your mortgage and there are 3 problems with that strategy at least: 1) per diem rates for travel nurses in FL are amongst the worst in the nation 2) most people prefer not to have a room in a shared home and 3) Florida considers anything less than 6 months (I believe) an STR so all the taxes and rules apply and most travel contracts are 13 weeks max.

I found very little information about that subject on the forum.I've ran a few successful subdivision projects back in Europe (France) and developped some parcels in California, and would be interested in learning more about the subject.These operations can if executed properly, be very profitable, but i have yet to confirm if it is feasible in the US, anf if there is demand for shovel ready lots. 

Also like a gold rush, the ones selling "picks and shovels" have a better chance at consistent returns (in this case RE agents selling properties, PM's managing STRs that charge 30-40%, and of course the online platforms themselves as evidenced by AirBNB currently being valued at an estimated $31B which is up there among the biggest hotel chains).
