It was a similar point I was hoping to convey with a bit of humor.

This is a great question and one that's similar to Xian's above from a few months ago.

Depending on the market, A game room can give you a similar ROI with much less liability. 

I live in Dubai and I also invested a bit in the US over the past few yearsBut I was interested to continue investing in Dubai , maybe at least get a few rental properties to generate some cash flow.i would be interested to discuss with anyone who has similar interest or who has been successful in this ? 

Get an estimate from a GC to get a good idea of what is required.Market Comparables: Check what similar-sized homes with finished basements or additional bedrooms are appraising for in your area.

The model flagged listings that could likely generate more revenue with better descriptions.4.Market Comparison: Using Zillow Zestimate APIs and AirDNA, they compared similar properties in the area and forecasted how much more the property could make if the photos and descriptions were improved.5.Property List: All of this data was organised into a Google Sheet for further review.6.Automating Outreach: They used Claude to generate personalised outreach emails and DMs to homeowners, pitching offers for the properties.The entire process revolves around identifying undervalued homes that look worse online than they actually are.Has anyone seen anything like this?

we are doing similar but hotel / extended stay valuations are almost double apartments.

I think the risk is similar and probably even less likely with midterms, particularly since you should always have a lease agreement for your midterm rentals whereas people rarely do this for short terms.

.: @Karen MargraveGood to see you back here.When I was a midshipman a thousand years ago, we had accommodations similar to this, though our "micro-units house 2 or 3 cadets.  

The reason I am analyzing with slightly different types of properties for those 2 scenarios is so that my initial investment is similar.
