If it doesn't look like there's enough margin to make it significantly greater than renting by the room, I wouldn't do it.

We were interested in the Mount Zion Blvd deal in Ellenwood, GA, due to several key factors: Profit Potential: The property offered a clear profit margin, with a purchase price of $165,000 and a sale price of $234,900.

Luckily Kansas City, MO is still renting at that 1%, sometimes even 1.2% margin☺️

Not trying to be a dream killer but there is simply no money to be made in the D.C. no cash flow, no margins to flip, labor either to flip or just hold a property is insane, the money was made years ago, even going forward I see limited appreciation, investing is HARD everyone these days but to the extent there is money to be made you have to go to places that haven’t popped yet.

When analyzing a luxury short term rental (STR) vacation home for investment in today's mortgage rate environment, the ROI & margins can be extremely tight. 

Thanks mate, investing all cash with us wouldn’t leave you with a margin of safety.

The goal is to try and do 2-3 of these projects/year. margins are too low. you need to work on finding land cheaper. look at 500 pieces of land and underwrite them and the exit. we did that for the last 8 months while we have broken ground on a few deals and we focus on where can I exit at the highest which tends to be urban core infill lots. we do this in Columbus Ohio and expanding to where I moved in miami soon. the margin you have is too low though for new construction. how many new builds do you have? 

It emphasized the need for flexibility in project timelines and the importance of maintaining healthy profit margins to mitigate challenges.

However, for every other year you will be paying these costs or at least needing to budget for them, and they will likely take away all of your margin.
