It's also important to know when you face the risk of a lawsuit.

Looking for a turn around scanrio is an ego pleaser, makes for a great story if it works, but high risk it will never pan out the way you thought.

But if seller was in such financial straights to have any risk of doing such, I wouldn't recommend getting into a C4D, there is other mechanisms of potential. namely, assuming the mortgage. 

Look for properties with high cash flow potential, good condition, and room for improvement, such as value-add opportunities.

I’d dig into this a bit more.Another assumption that stood out to me as potentially problematic is the 6% income growth and only 3% expense growth.

Here’s how they approached it:1.Scraping Listings: They used web scraping tools like Beautiful Soup and GPT APIs to scan Airbnb for properties in their target areas.2.Image Analysis: They trained an AI model to analyse listing photos, identifying homes with solid potential (good structure, layout, location) that were undervalued due to low-quality photos.

Here are some trends that could play out, or further develop in 2025.Leasing & Tenant Experience AI-Powered Leasing: Chatbots and AI tools will streamline leasing processes, from answering tenant inquiries to scheduling tours.Virtual Tours & Digital Leasing: These will become even more standard, making it easier for tenants to rent remotely.TechnologySmart Property Management: IoT devices (smart locks, thermostats, etc.) will become more common, improving efficiency and tenant satisfaction.Property Management Software: Platforms will integrate more AI for predictive maintenance, rent collection, and financial reporting.SustainabilityGreen building practices and energy-efficient upgrades will be a major focus, driven by tenant demand and potential incentives.AI & AutomationAI will play a bigger role in tenant screening, rent pricing optimization, and even predicting market trends.Automation will handle repetitive tasks like maintenance requests and lease renewals, freeing up PMs for higher-level activities.I'm sure there are plenty more shifting trends that I haven't mentioned and that are sure to evolve over the next year. 

An additional benefit of a detailed engineering-based Cost Segregation Study is that it can increase potential insurance premium savings as well as provide support for the property tax appeals process.

Conservative and low risk. 

I’m brainstorming ideas on how I can market myself to potential mentors in the STR game in order to gain experience.
