We've had a lot more success with good old fashioned cold calling, response rates are lower (5-10% nationally) but you don't have your accounts being shut down every day.

@Don Konipoli can have some sympathy for #4, since it's drilled into everyone now that you can't advance in any field unless you 'have a mentor' - so i try to redirect those into an old-fashioned pursuit called 'making friends' or, not quite as bad, 'networking.'

They don't want a super modern home build in an area filled with craftsman or farm style homes.

In a similar fashion, if you can imagine how much landscaping and underground infrastructure is in a golf course as compared to the clubhouse, that will give an indication of why an extremely high percentage of the property's value is allocated to the land improvements.

I'd like to modernize the experience for tenants of the properties so I am concerned with tenant features on the AIO platform e.g.; Turbotenant seems to offer more to tenants with the credit building feature and more options to pay.

We still like the old fashion long-term rentals for the consistency and reliability of income.

My concern is that American Modern has a lot more terms compared to State Farm.

This time we wanted to cater to the other side of the market with a small, modern 1 bedroom.We abandoned the idea after the construction costs came in so high we couldn't justify the ROI. 

So, to renovate an already functional space to make it more modern involves demo'ing something that has value to try to add something of more value BUT the value is limited because it is basement space.

-Recent renovations - the more modern the interior is and more functional increase its value-Floor plans - you could have two identical office buildings but one with a better floor plan will sell for higher per sqft.
