I tried FB ads, and got some inquiries but no bookings.It would be nice to have an AI program that would respond to people looking for a certain sized property in your location for certain dates.

Cleaning up our work area, I remembered what my old co-worker once told me on the construction site "There are 3 ways a job gets done: One way in our head, another way planned out, and how the job actually goes." 

There is an abnormally low amount of new construction occurring on the coast in comparison to the demand and the existing inventory can be quite dated, especially for those coming from areas like California.

Best part is that it unfolds and if site prep is done, we can have a renter in in a matter of days upon delivery. 

Also, without even looking at the plans a 7 unit building will likely have flawed floor plans and/ or an inefficient layout unless its an irregular site.

After this conversation and having an agreed upon vision, save it as a "Version" of the vision on that particular date. 

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

Maybe an investor is flipping a lot of properties and you could offer to pick up and deliver materials to his crews, clean the work sites every night, bring his crew lunch, or whatever.Find a way to make yourself useful to them, and they will reciprocate.

From there they port out to all the normal other sites.
