If smaller living space was the answer we could just build a boatload of 1000 unit apartment buildings.

We scraped the old house and we build new home, where the houses are selling close to the $1.8M What was the outcome?

My love affair with real estate derived from my late mom who had a passion for buying real estate to build wealth.

My goal is to build a data-driven tool that provides actionable insights into which neighborhoods and property types are in the highest demand, based on metrics like:Time on market: How quickly rentals are being leased.Property characteristics: Bedrooms, bathrooms, size, and amenities.Pricing trends: Rental rates relative to market demand and property features.Visual quality: Leveraging property photos to analyze the style and condition of rentals that perform well.The tool will allow users to:Pinpoint areas with the fastest rental turnovers.Understand what types of properties (size, price range, features) rent the quickest.Gain deeper insights into property presentation and amenities that correlate with high demand.Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Quote from @Breland Clark: I would like to know more about developing land and subdivisions for new builds and apartment buildings. talk to the land development arms in your city or state.

To paraphrase Warren Buffet “it takes a lifetime to build your reputation and only a moment to destroy it”

And while short-term rentals are the big draw here, there’s also growing demand for mid-term rentals from snowbirds and traveling professionals, as well as long-term housing for the increasing number of permanent residents.Yes, higher interest rates are a factor, but the strong rental demand in the Panhandle often helps offset those costs.

Did they build their portfolios overnight?

I am also building a group of investors to syndicate with, so more cash available soon as well.why?

Same as you wouldn't only invest in one stock (or the stock market), diversifying allows you a bit of a safety net in case one goes down.With real estate a lot of people focus on cash flow, but remember tenants are paying down your mortgage for you and helping you build equity and over time (eg 5-10 years) your house will also appreciate in value.
