I think factory construction and the precise and pure angles etc is the way to go.So here is my issue.

That always makes it so much harder to rent, or secure a great tenant.Here's my standard go to list now for long term rental updates:-LVP that looks like wide plank white oak-Ultra Pure white on all the walls-Vertical/ modern stack backsplashes and showers-Pop of color on the cabinets (pop of color can include black too)-Butcher block countertops (lower end) or white quartz countertops (higher end)-Modern light fixtures in brushed brassKeep it neutral still but a couple of style choices with the light fixtures (which are cheap) and it will appeal to the masses.Good luck! 

You've got a wide range of responses already here and it most certainly depends on your market! 

Appreciation: Can vary widely based on location and property.

You have to have a specific angle on a property or be willing to put up with title or condition problems that nobody else is... or compete with cash-rich guys who buy these things all day.At least I didn't overpay, or even worse, fail to do due diligence and end up with a broken foundation and a jumbo IRS lien!

Hi Dennis, your newest plan sounds very reasonable and is a widely used strategy in real estate.  

They did this back in ~2009 and haven't widely done it since (not even during the pandemic)

Obviously, the Margaritaville Brand is very strong and they have great amenities, but is it universally appealing so you attract as wide a demographic audience.

That's the beautiful thing about tech and automation.It can take some time to set up and integrate and implement processes.But once done properly, you can scale quicker and easier and not be worried to take on a book of 189 units per se when the opportunity presents itself.I reverse engineered "scale" within our company and focused on systems and optimizing.Now it's time to monetize 🙏Getting very close to being able to throw gasoline on the fire for scale.We could scale easier in another market but to be honest, not in the mood of being like some of the other nation wide PM's where they do M&A nationwide.Plus, I'm "semi-retired" and prefer to keep it that way hahaThere are limits to growth in our local market but it's not necessary a bad thing.Cheers mate

Casting a wide net and exploring all avenues in your area (especially at first) is key to success in the MTR space.
