Really like the model!

I'm developing land in Redding, CA. 21 homes total, and wondering if anyone has advice or connections on getting the best deals on materials, appliances, things like fireplaces, ceiling fans, basically anything and everything that goes into a house.Looking to use a little hustle to build these houses piece by piece, getting great deals while keeping our style intact.Looking forward to any help I can get!

My friends look at me funny when I order the KC style ribs at the restaurant locally.

I'm not sure about large apartment complex's as that is not our business model.  

You are trying to compensate for your lack of experience with a more attractive compensation model.

For example, if, in an 18 hour waking period, you spend 2 hours snooping through the AirBNB, writing down the makes and models of appliances, figuring out the distribution of the mini shampoos and inventorying how many cooking supplies your hosts are providing and the thread count of the sheets, then an auditor might allow you to take 10% of your total trip expenses as a deduction.If, however, in an 18 hour waking period, you spend 6-8 hours per day interviewing Hosts, researching which properties would make good AirBNBs, researching the local laws, touring properties, meeting with an agent and vigorously pursuing your next acquisition, you'd have a MUCH better case for writing off your travel expenses (but probably not your lift tickets and equipment rental).If, on the other hand, you are traveling and on vacation and just hang out in your AirBNB without actually performing any activities, then the odds that an auditor will allow any deduction at all is pretty minimal.In any audit, it would be up to you to document the business purpose of your trip.  

On the market for $99,000 in a neighborhood where this style sells for $190-200K.

New condos, mixed-use office space, hotels, parks, pedestrian/biker friendly European style roads, and walking bridges are all under construction right now.

However, the information may or may not be important.Everything else is just publicly available data anyone has access to.Comparables are just recently sold homes (similar in size, style, age, etc., sold within the past 3-6 months).
