This trend has continued into 2024, with an increasing demand for rental housing driving up prices and creating affordability challenges for middle-income families.To address this issue, developers and construction companies have begun to explore innovative solutions such as “Build-for-Rent” projects.

I'm nervous because I've never had a business before and I still have a full-time job as a cloud solutions architect, which I'm really passionate about - so hopefully it won't be my golden handcuffs that may prevent me to thrive as an investor and  I'm excited because of all the benefits and freedoms being a business owner offers, one of which is to connect and collaborate with forums like this and people like all of you, where I can both learn from and hopefully share later as I develop more experience. :-)

I sold because when it comes down to it, I think I was returning 8% over the last 15 years which came with headaches, a tree that keeps falling and nearly killing someone, hail storms that keep damaging the roof and increase property values that also increase the property taxes because Texas is 2.2% which is raising faster than rents can keep up with.

Then the real work begins, following up with them until you can book an appointment or at least get on a zoom call to talk further.A VA caller can help (I run a Real Estate call center) but the second part you need to do on your own, the VA caller can help shake the tree and find hand raisers.

Developing an AI solution would relieve your free contributors from the repetitive questions that have been asked and answered but the user has chosen not onuse the lookup.  

This innovative approach to housing development is not just a response to market conditions but a strategic solution to address the pressing needs of renters and investors alike.The Sunbelt, encompassing states like Florida, Texas, Arizona, and California, has long been a beacon for those seeking warmth, opportunity, and a lower cost of living.

We have had only one in 15 years over the entire portfolio (granted we rent higher end, so less drama to begin with) but if our team can't fix an issue I usually meet with the tenant to find a solution. 

At that point, it's worth researching and finding a solution that better meets your needs.

Again this is not the ultimate solution to the problem but at least they would have a vested interest. 

Does anyone have a solution?
