To achieve this, I’m planning to scale rapidly by performing a couple of syndications to acquire a larger portfolio.I currently have a portfolio of 17 properties, but to justify labor costs and create a sustainable structure, I need to expand quickly.

We will see more investors walk away because the properties aren't performing well, but other investors will pick them up and the quantity will remain high.Rates are anyone's guess.

Haha, but you know what they say - past performance is no guarantee of future results. 

I posted a bit about my experience here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/88/topics/406311-jacksonville-fl---sfh-new-constructionhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/92/topics/501414-data-points-multi-year-turnkey-performance-your-experienceMy property is cash flowing well. 

Your best bet is to get on the phone, get multiple opinions, multiple quotes, and make decisions on the type of build before pulling the trigger.

All 3 are low due to the low vacancy, but evictions are also low due to the difficulty in performing evictions

Past performance is no indication of future results.

Looks like biting the bullet and getting an engineer may be my best bet.

These will give you a clear picture of the property's current performance and potential.

From what I’ve heard, properties that emphasize tranquility.. like offering outdoor seating areas, fire pits, or even something as simple as a hammock.. tend to perform exceptionally well in remote settings.You’re spot on about STR policies in Johnson City versus Knoxville.
