I'm struggling to generate extra lead flow from builders, mostly because it's so difficult to identify folks that are doing ground up, business purpose construction. 

I assure that's what's happening here, it's a generational thing. 

Managing mix of STR and LTRs and may be starting complimentary business like cleaning and landscaping to generate more revenue.

Capital generation is always good with a flip, or maybe getting into a value add deal, leveraging hard money to  update the property, then re-fi and hold.

Quote from @Brandon Vukelich: Question: why would you sell an asset that generates a profit today and will generate a more significant profit in the future?

I do not see a need for extra cost or tech not all of your guests will appreciate (i.e. older generations).

You are right about the risk that comes with the holding period but in my opinion sometimes you have to take the risk and make sure the profit that you generate is higher than the costs that you paid by holding the deal for a specific amount of time.

We basically want property to generate some cash flow and long term appreciation.

The new generation ATM can do a lot more than dispersing cash.

Purchased and sold on the same day, it generated a $50,000 profit.
