I am interested in responses which  can give me ideas on how to generate new income and use technology to achieve this.

Tim,People aren't going to like what I'm about to tell you, but the truth is with technology, buying out of state is not nearly as difficult as you think.My last 12 deals have all come out of state.

Thanks, guess an assessment would need to take place to understand existing technology the stakeholder are using or just integrate a new platform across the board.

Or if it's really cement like, you could do an exposed brick look and really up your rent (go with ultra modern accessories for that loft look).  

As technology gets smarter and consumers are more educated the need of a real estate agent nowadays in selling and buying real estate becomes a big question.

Old technology, bad mentality. 

We are developing parcelion.com - a patent-pending technology that enables real estate investors and  buyers to search for properties that may be attractive for new development, rebuilding, or remodeling in compliance with local rules and regulations and potentially result in lucrative return–on-investment (ROI).We need your feedback and we are looking for partnership with RE investors, flippers, lenders, agents, and pros.

Many brokerages are eager to collect a technology or start up fee from you and could care less if you ever sell one property. 

Not vinyl modern doors for sure.

Good afternoon , I am a new builder in corpus , focusing on modern design I'm also interested in partnering up with a developer to get my vision and scale it to a bigger form and build specs and short term rentals simultaneously.
