Their dollar compensation is their free/reduced rent.If you have a lot of maintenance with landscaping or POHs then you hire them as an hourly employee.   

Here’s how they approached it:1.Scraping Listings: They used web scraping tools like Beautiful Soup and GPT APIs to scan Airbnb for properties in their target areas.2.Image Analysis: They trained an AI model to analyse listing photos, identifying homes with solid potential (good structure, layout, location) that were undervalued due to low-quality photos.

Is it doable - yes but you will need to go to a lender who probably uses their own funds vs. an instituational lender as they will not like 2nd position nor the low amount.

You should be able to go as low as 10-15% down payment with your experience.Ground up Financing: Most "ground up" financing options require a bit of experience - 3-5 exists (rehabbed & sold or rehabbed & refinanced in the last 3 years).

I was thinking of starting a rent increase for my 1 bedroom tenant voucher due it being low and well under fair market value(Based on  hud and zip code) but my tenant is in the process of having a caretaker for her disability and getting approved for a two bedroom voucher.

@Kenneth Joseph PerfidoFrom my experience, you’re in a great position with your Newport property, strong cash flow, and a low 2.8% interest rate.

Overcrowding can strain plumbing, electrical systems, and air conditioning, leading to expensive maintenance issues.

You could also list low and if the demand is really there, could get bid up.

I found a PM called Hostex.io for the STR so far so good I could not believe the very low annual fee which was less than $90 a year.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
