Sitting on 10 acres , build a few more houses 

Depending how much of the neighborhood is a hot zone for renting rather buying, and which Property type is performing better than the other (meaning 1bd 1ba 2 floor renting out faster and much more consistently than a 2bd 1ba 1 floor), you can make your choice of those factors as well as other ones that impact your decision for what you wanna do with your investment.

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.

Yes we ask towards the top of the market, but I anticipate my holding times (which are in line as the short supply in my area is able to work for me) and build that in. 

It takes time to build relationships with local wholesalers & tired LLs, where ever you are looking to buy.   

It's a relationship game more than anything, so if you're building strong relationships with them and providing a consistent product, you'll be golden.

Bad part about low money programs people don't talk about, before 2022 this would not be a factor

But I purchased land in cash and leveraged it to build a new construction stick built home.

While the townhome is in good shape overall, it does need some mild cosmetic updates to bring it up to rental standards.My goal is to leverage this property to start building a real estate portfolio, but I’m not sure what the best first step is.
