The next trades are oil producers, defense stocks, and mega cap tech after their reckoning. 

Today, I wanted to dive into an exciting topic that’s revolutionizing our industry—technology in real estate sales.With so many new tools and platforms emerging, I'm curious to hear from everyone here about the tech solutions you’re finding the most valuable in your business.

A lot of STR investors self manage due to the tech available today.

Our priorities in terms of market is there needs to be- anticipated economic growth (lots of tech companies are moving into Columbus),- prices need to allow us to buy in all cash (400k or less, ideally up to 300k),- we want the area to be safe (when looking into places like Dayton, OH or Memphis, TN for instance it looks like all our boxes are checked on paper, numbers wise but we realized quickly there are a lot of unsafe areas and we could have the potential for problem tenants)- yearly expenses to be relatively low (i.e. we are avoiding NYC and the tri state area, California, etc. for having extremely high taxes).Is our initial analysis on the right track for Columbus?

Someone who is a very high W2 earner (e.g many of my younger tech friends) are fine with taking more risk, buying lots of OOS, scaling, etc. 

I work in tech but am a small RE investor and keep a very close eye on the local market. 

Also, properties on the lake cost 3-4x per SF and have a major downside for Dec 1 - April 1 or so: they see a giant mud bowl out the window because the lake is drained.

Your standing here, hocky mask n gloves on, bragging about the giant bag of loot slung over your shoulder how ya just robbed the landlord's for 20%..... 

We include the cost of all the smart tech we want installed that the homeowner keeps, safety items we require in each property, and the items/signs we use to "brand" the home to our company, as well as our time setting up the listings, pricing, guidebooks, auto messaging, cleaning up the supply closets, kitchens, etc.

The large tech stock reliably get 15%ROE (which means we expect their long term performance to be 15% or so).
