Are you essentially saying the expected higher interest rate is the main issue with the strategy?

@Brad Smith One main way is picking up the phone and forming a connection with the different reps.

For example is the 3/4" settlement in a main area of the home, is it in a basement?

OpenPhone has been a great tool for communicating with property owners, vendors, and generic main office phone calls. 

The fact its in a landbank tells me that it was taken back for some reason, which tells me its likely not a high commercial demand for development, but I could be wrong.If it is "on the main drag" in this town then I'd think doing a new build home to do a targeted and intentional air bnb would be the best bet. 

ALSO they have regs on rooming houses only allowed in specific zoning, similar zoning as for hotels;  only on main streets in business districts AND you have to apply for licensing and blabla as for a hotel..That said;  there is a small movement supporting rent by the room as a small step toward solving affordable housing. 

You should only have to do this with the largest items- mainly couches/chairs and dining sets.

Building a reliable network of contractors is one of my main goals for this year to help me scale up moving forward.

To make the job flow easier, but also (mainly) to protect myself if a customer changed their mind later ( which was common).

However, this structure provides two main benefits: 1) I don't have to build a big marketing machine to raise money.
