The dated cabins typically need more help than say brand new construction which now are coming with pools and other amenities built in. 

Hoping others experienced similar with input to share, lessons learned etc.1) REFRIGERATOR: Brand new refrigerator was installed after tenant  maybe two-three years ago. 

@Jeremy H Barton I would suggest taking a look at your cash flow before signing up for a HELOC on a brand new building.

For instance in the real world.. i bought 12 brand new constructions back in the Katrina days .. this was in the top county in Mississippi they ranged 150k to 225k each..

If you go in that direction, I highly recommend speaking with multiple franchisees from each brand before making a final decision.

Invest with syndicators who have a narrow niche and proven track record.For example, if an operator has done 5 or 6 workforce housing value add deals in Dallas, and they are offering a similar deal now, that would be encouraging.if however, their current deal was a brand new luxury Class A building in Charlotte and this was their first acquisition in Charlotte and their first class A deal, as an LP I would pass.Find operators who do one thing and kill it in that space.Find operators who own or have gone full cycle with similar assets in the same market.For example, my firm, Spark Investment Group has a very narrow niche - sub 100 unit MF or BTR in Greenville SC.

Or can I get the Costco brand items?? 

I am brand new here and I look forward to learning from the best in the business. 

And if your any good in 10 years you will have created your own brand and doing a lot of bizz or most by referral..

Brand new house.
