Found the forum while looking for information about Syndication as a tool to recruit Investment.I am based in the US and Mexico and currently just completed a mixed Vacation Rental Boutique building project in Tulum, Riviera Maya, Mexico.Looking forward to develop additional projects in the area which is blessed with high volume of local and foreign visitors.

I do think new models will emerge however the more I digest this settlement & believe me I more than anyone would love to see the industry transformed, I think the more likely outcome is just reduced net commissions and reduced volume for agents, while not being an extinction level event either.

@Diane Kruse we actually buy used all the time from an appliance store.Due to our volume, we've been able to negotiate 6 month warranties.Will say that we would recommend new for Class A & B+ rentals. 

If you need help doing calls, its really going to depend on the volume.

Anyone who tells you otherwise or claims to have done these deals in volume is likely willing to sell you a course. 

If your doing low volume of deals I look for larger dollar per door, where is at higher volume I’m happy with $200+ per door with debt.

Oh, you can also look up Ross Chapin, architect, who has a large volume of material on pocket neighborhoods, which are made up of small homes from 500 to 1500 ft.².

Following....I will be managing 4 high volume units - and I am looking for a mentor! 

Both platforms push high volume, low price models because that is in their best interest.

First off  you have a CRIME FREE /Drug Free addendum on each tenant that lives in your rental.If you notice suspicious activity or have reports of the same you give tenant notice of high traffic / volume of people to unit as notice to cure.. if this continues or you see or smell drugs you give notice of non-compliance and lease termination. yes you can ask police for advise.. but your main goal is to limit the calls police have to make to your property so you don't want to be listed as a nuisance property. but if the issues warrants it yes call the cops and if a neighboring unit is worried tell them to call the cops sometimes you have to have a record of police calls to verify the issue so you can write up infraction for eviction action..
