It's been a very, very bumpy road to be under contract - and past the due dilligence period - on a new build we are purchasing with the intent to use it as a STR (and some personal use).

The DST I purchased with Allegiancy (Alorica DST in Ft Worth, TX) did not do good due diligence (in my opinion) regarding the structural quality of the buildings they purchased for this DST in 2022. 

With the network I have been building I am confident that this will be a viable option in 18 months.

BP has done such a great job of promoting SFR investing to the masses, that those masses have pushed up real estate prices to where it's now DIFFICULT to cashflow right away.Keep going, but understand you won't get rich in real estate overnight - it's a long-term wealth building strategy.For the short-term, recommend joining a few in-person investor meetings if possible, otherwise online ones.

I'm a rookie real estate investor hoping to find or build a community of like-minded women.

Mention a payment schedule that reflects project progress and key milestones, such as rough inspections passed or drywall completed.

That said, don’t underestimate the power of building relationships before you pitch a deal.

I am also building a group of investors to syndicate with, so more cash available soon as well.why?

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.
