Social media can be a powerful tool, and then good old-fashioned door knocking for listings is a great way to drum up business as well! 

I think have a professionally designed, well located, modern, etc home would appeal to more people than trying to find the niche, but I could be wrong.

Hi Jaden,I'm not a fan of hybrid turnkey models like the companies you mention.Also, not a fan of many turnkey marketing companies.Granted, I'm bias but if anyone is interested in turnkey just go straight to the provider.Not many around these days anymore and the one's that are, have stood the test of time and are obviously solid.I think it's less riskier nowadays to invest in turnkey properties than before because all of the poor providers have disappeared and only the good one's are still around.Plus, seems like the "hands off" and so beloved syndications are going belly up so turnkey might be in fashion again.And no big deal IMO that turnkey is not completely "hands off".Is anything completely passive other than 30yr Treasury Bonds?

When I look at the design it’s not very modern, it’s very plain.

Yet, here I am in typical parent fashion, making my first BP post about my child instead of myself.

Of course, the virtual numbers that the tool spits out have to be validated "the old fashioned way" by confirming the assumptions the tool is making (comps for daily rental, occupancy, vacancy rate, seasonality, etc.) 

Whether you take on a loan structure in that fashion is certainly up to the borrower.

I am also seeing Home Equity Agreements coming into fashion, but I do not have any details on this.

I've had a property insured with American Modern for a number of years. 

But to be fair Texas is usually far behind the fashion trends.
