I have never personally rented short term like AirBnB and love hearing stories such as yours!

Hey all, I currently have a new home being built that I would like to keep in my personal portfolio.

It’s quite eye opening.I hope this post helps at least one investor avoid the same path I took and saves them from the nearly 8 years of frustration I've endured.

Masthope had been rumored to be limiting STR, but it seems they are keeping their eye on the fallout after the big court win in Lake Ariel - https://www.timoneyknox.com/reversed-short-term-rental-regul...

It’s a larger house (3500 sqft. 5 bed), but is secluded, private, centrally located, and sits on nearly 3.3 acres of the East Bay Hills, with open space as far as the eye can see outside.

You'd think with all the information out there that it would be harder to pull the wool over people's eyes.

Cash flow might take a bit of a back seat but building a team you can trust and building experience are top priorities in my eyes.

It was honestly to keep an eye on the vacant place.

Platforms like Procore, JobTread, Buildertrend, and FlipperForce have caught my eye, but I want to make sure I’m considering the best fit for my needs.Here’s what I’m looking for in a solution:Cost Estimation: A tool that accurately calculates material and labor costs.Project Oversight: Features to manage tasks, schedules, and budgets efficiently from start to finish.Vendor Integration: Real-time updates on pricing and inventory from suppliers like Home Depot or other suppliers.Material Suggestions: Automation or recommendations based on the rehab’s scope and specifications.Labor Planning: Tools to predict labor hours and staffing requirements for each phase of the project.For those of you who’ve used any of these platforms (or others), I’d love to hear your thoughts:Which software have you found most effective and why?

I personally like the BRRRR strategy - it's not easy to pull off but it's simple and it works in theory.
