In this study, new construction is defined as a habitable structure requiring load-bearing features and MEP utilities (mechanical, electrical & plumbing)Below shows which cities have had the most activity:Question: Do you see activity increasing for the rest of Q1?

I'm eager to grow my book of business in various markets and connect with active wholesalers.

Our STR/MTR portfolio typically sees around 80% occupancy, and I’ve noticed that the online travel booking sites often push properties with consistently great guest experiences.

For those of you who actively acquire land, what challenges have you faced in different markets?

"Hello BiggerPockets Community,My name is Gernide, and I'm actively involved in note flipping.

Hey Ian, since you're not an active agent I would connect with some local investor-friendly agents in your market.

The worst thing is to pay for a service where you don't get a benefit.If you have STR's and actively manage them, then there is a good chance that you can treat the propreties as active instead of passive which will allow you to offset the losses with other forms of income such as wages, interest, dividends, gains, etc.

I would just go on VRBO (or similar) and look how people design their properties where it really matters (they are trying to rent to daily guests and design/amenities are super important.

The other factor that's relevant for me is that my husband is a high end W-2 wage earner and we could greatly benefit from the potential tax benefits of actively managing the property. 

I’m also an active member of the local landlord association in Joliet (JRLA), which has been a great resource for networking and education.
