@O Samuel AdekolujoHate to state the obvious, but your approach isn't working.Where is the problem, is the question:1) Your assumptions?

On top of that, he’s funny and very approachable.

This approach balances guest convenience with managing costs and inventory.Happy to connect and share more tips!

Real estate investing works out best when treated with a crockpot approach instead of microwave. 

You'll probably get better service approaching it that way than hiring a professional manager anyway.  

If you can rent it out, get it rented out, get a year lease, then start approaching commercial lenders for either a DSCR loan or a 2nd mortgage, with cash out. 

Many lenders allow for low-down-payment options if the rental income covers the loan.You’re approaching this deal thoughtfully, but be sure to communicate the benefits of your offers clearly to overcome resistance from the seller's representative.

Now, if you listen carefully you will find that he too found some of the same things that others mentioned...no deals in Austin, prices were too high...but then he adjusted his approach and nailed it!

After talking to my guests and understanding their needs, I shifted my approach.

When we do a shell, cost segregation is the best approach.
