Hey everyone, I've been working with 3D virtual tours and wanted to start a discussion on how they impact real estate marketing.

They are just regurgitating marketing 101 trying to sell the holy grail. 

I’d encourage you to think outside the box when sourcing off-market properties rather than simply replicating someone else’s strategy—what works for them may not necessarily work for you.Additionally, connecting with real buyers who can close on deals is crucial.

We are in Sub-markets, which have led us to having a very small general contracting pool and can't find any contractors to keep up with demand.

Fortunately for me, I started investing a time in the market where everything went up.  

I really am amazed at how some marketer can convince an adult that real estate is like following grandma's recipe for beef stew.

No one has a "crystal ball" to time the market perfectly. 

Any tips for navigating the competition in such a hot market?

There are no laws restricting mark-to-market rents. 

If, through the process of renovating the property, the market shifts, do you have an alternate plan for the property, whether it be to live in it until the market improves, or convert it to a rental property, etc.
