Yes we use AI for just that: follow up re-engagement and appointment setting.

I do not stress over the threats because 1) most are meritless and silly 2) they never follow through for RE related stuff 3) I have ample coverage.  

I'd talk to your zoning office and see. 3 bed 3.5 bath in 1500 sq ft is pushing it. we build super compact and have a layout thats 3 bed 2.5 bath 1 car attached garage in Columbus Ohio.

Quote from @Devin James: Gross Margin is an important calculation for developers/builders.Gross Margin = Gross Profit / RevenueWe shoot for a 20% gross margin on our New Construction HomesReal #’s:Home Sales Price: $374KClosing Cost: $18,700Cost of Construction: $258KLand Cost: $30KGross Profit = $67K$67K/$374K = 17.9% Gross MarginCame slightly short of our goal of 20%Homes Values and Build Costs are constantly fluctuatingI wish we had a crystal ball build larger homes. average new build in our market is 2200 square feet, 4 beds, 3 baths, 2 car garage and sells for 515k. construction costs lower if design is good and find the median or average home sale price and push that up. my guess is you built too small. 347k is cheap. we target 429-479k price range in columbus ohio for single family homes and also only purchase close to urban core where premiums are 20% higher and we build smaller like 1500 sq ft where price per square foot goes up. 

Additionally, while rates aren't historically bad right now, they are higher than 4-5 years ago, and they will be even higher for you as an investor than they were as an owner occupant, which is what you were when you bought originally.I get that you are anxious to add to your portfolio, but that could be achieved without touching your first golden goose.Sometimes on BP, the push is to leverage every last spare penny, but that can be a risky game as the markets shift. 

Everyone’s got the same problem: STR oversaturationPrices are high in most markets and if/when you do buy, your competition is fierce thus pushing down nightly rates and occupancy rates in almost every worthwhile marketGood luck fixing that! 

Like Iowa , SC IL and more to follow..  

Our STR/MTR portfolio typically sees around 80% occupancy, and I’ve noticed that the online travel booking sites often push properties with consistently great guest experiences.

Let’s keep pushing forward. 💪🏡 Keep doing your thing, brother!

Some people will push to get the maximum, even if it means they may wind up with nothing.
