Build-to-Rent (BTR): A Steady Income StreamWith homeownership becoming less attainable for many, build-to-rent properties are in high demand.

The one parcel that we will develop into buildable lots will probably be after we have built out/sold off the initial 30ish lots that are ready to go, which should produce capital and prove demand. 

If your agent will work for free with no strings attached, that tells me they are either desperate and inexperienced OR they offer a low level of service working many "clients" - either way you lose in the long run. 

I could keep it and rent it, rents are good and in high demand but just looking for a different property type. 

A lot has happened since starting, between material shortages in SWFL for a while, a massive hurricane, a period of power outage, damages to various parts of the city (and major damages to surrounding cities), high demand in labor/resources, a transformation in permitting systems, and a boom in construction in general. 

How could I determine how much demand there is?

It really depends on market demand and location.

My goal is to build a data-driven tool that provides actionable insights into which neighborhoods and property types are in the highest demand, based on metrics like:Time on market: How quickly rentals are being leased.Property characteristics: Bedrooms, bathrooms, size, and amenities.Pricing trends: Rental rates relative to market demand and property features.Visual quality: Leveraging property photos to analyze the style and condition of rentals that perform well.The tool will allow users to:Pinpoint areas with the fastest rental turnovers.Understand what types of properties (size, price range, features) rent the quickest.Gain deeper insights into property presentation and amenities that correlate with high demand.Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Plus our population is growing steadily which helps maintain property values and rental demand.

What is great about teak is wild teak is drastically diminishing while the demand is increasing.
