It is a boxing match between one of the greatest undefeated boxers of all time (Floyd Mayweather, 49-0) and a hard-punching UFC star (Conor McGregor, much younger and stronger...but not a pro boxer).  

For Multifamily, Yardi is actually better than co-star in my opinion but is as expensive.

Job listings show steady and diverse demand for travel nurses in the region, and there are some other angles that might generate leads for furnished housing, including several small-medium light manufacturing employers within two miles of the property and a university in the neighboring city.Aside from the AirBnbs - most of which are larger - the other options in the city itself are 2-star extended stay motels at $100/night that are in poor condition. 

Chris Lopez and the Envision Advisors have their process dialed in from their market specific podcasts, deal analyzing spreadsheets, and investor friendly agents. 5 out of 5 stars.

Definitely pay attention to the rewards program on the card you choose, the points do add up especially when you’re spending like a rock star on a renovation project.  

There is a happy medium, the energy star usage data is pretty easy to find if you look up the model online and it shows you a range of the energy usage of that model compared to the most and least efficient models. 

But for a noob investors to say "I want to build a multi-unit building" in a place like LA it's like going to Hollywood, walking into a studio and telling them you want to star in a major action film. 

It cost me roughly $36k to flip it from a dingy college rental, into a vacation rental with 20, 5 star reviews (and no others, out of 42 guests total so far).

And if these aren't super strong properties, meaning you can't pay any of them off, because you are not a super duper rock star real estate investor, then why should we expose ourselves to more risk? 

Its the same thing in cheap markets were they sell say 130k new construction.. those deals usually have 10 to 15% gross margins so they are making 13 to maybe 20k if they are really lucky net profit but getting good leverage and pumping out 50 in a year.We will build about 40 homes this year.. so while we don't hit homeruns we make it up in volume and god willing the market holding and the star's aligning and every other lucky charm we can pull .Like @Will Barnard even though it was an outlier for us we did a 5 million dollar flip and made 1.5 on it.. but that was not something we could recreate .. and I don't have the stones to do that these days.. with my cheaper homes I know my bank will let me make them into rentals if they don't sell and with the rents the way they are they would cash flow or be a tiny bit negative as we rode out the market...
