Software: Stessa for accounting, Deal Check for quick and dirty analysis of potential purchasesMarket positioning: Pet-friendly (fenced-yard, accept dogs and cats), well-designed homes, off-street parking, suburban, full cable TV package (not streaming only)Pricing: Targeting upper-middle market (not budget-conscious guests)So far, so good (since 2020)

I have 3 log cabins and 3 modern/contemporary designs.

While Quickbooks is great, it's not a software designed for real estate investors like Baselane is.

Then work with an architect for design.

Architecture did a design and well respected contractor estimated the buildout of 4 plex would be an additional ~800k for total project cost of ~1M. it would be ~1.2M for the 7 plex.  

However the property has a freeway behind it and hence no rear neighbors /more privacy.You’re going to see low or negative returns with minimum down payments in that area unless you’re going BIG as in much larger homes and much heftier budgets for design/amenities.There’s great cashflow on the Clearwater/Largo/Seminole/StPete side - you’re looking at 2 high cashflow buckets that I call Tier 1 and Tier 2. 

Mainly I’m trying to avoid “aged poorly design” glassblock walls, small bedrooms, older windows (wood/aluminum, single pane), aluminum patio covers, and to a lesser extent landscaping.

Designed for STR, reasonable, intuitive, great support.

Ooh, just met an operator there and they're doing really well. https://www.bearbranchcabins.com/Sounds like the A-Frame design is doing much better since that's a trending renter demand.

Summary: Portfolio product with 1% minimum down payment and no PMI requirement designed to benefit those heroes who serve and protect our communities.
