I've walked through a property with a wholesaler and when I walked in I told him the ceiling height here is a big factor for resale and I can't use the comps he sent me.

These days as you mention with STR almost everything can be handled remotely...cleaning, painting, locksmith, yard care, even drive by pictures of the house occasionally or internal pictures too. 

@Troy SmithHow to drive ARV (my opinion)1.

There are areas outside the Tahoe basin with a short drive that can provide for solid short term or long term income streams and still pull in the Tahoe goers.

Not sure your situation financially but even your $100,000 HELOC is going to probably run you $12,000 additional each year in expense that you've got to factor in.

Your drive and determination will take you far—keep pushing forward, and success will follow!

It’s probably not that you’re “small potatoes” to your PM, but more a reflection of the nature of the market itself—low rents, properties with higher maintenance needs, and tenant issues.These factors make properties in these neighborhoods more difficult to manage and generally less profitable for property managers.

Several economic factors are contributing to this shift:Overbuilding: Some areas of Charlotte have seen significant overdevelopment, leading to an oversupply of rental units.Tighter Money: Rising interest rates and economic uncertainty have made tenants more cautious with their spending.Tenant Behavior: Many responsible renters are choosing to stay put rather than take on the cost and hassle of moving.What Does This Mean for Landlords?

In my experience, there are a range of starting-off experiences, but one's experience is not always indicative of someone's desire/drive/commitment to pursue and thrive in real estate. 

Exceptions include delays caused by factors outside the Subcontractor’s control (e.g., weather, material delays).5.
