Hey @Mark Proctor, what you are asking about is Search Engine Optimization.

Architect & Engineering plans Rendering Surgery 1 & 2 County permits Municipality Utilities District costThese are the permits I am aware of, but I know there has to be more permits I could be missing. 

I currently have a full-time career as a senior engineer in the aerospace industry, but I’ve always been interested in real estate, and I view REI as a way to supplement my future retirement.I’m interested in initially doing fix and flips to build up capital for buy and hold investments in multi-family properties, and I have about $200K in home equity that I can leverage to get started.

TFor a full service cost seg study, reach out to these 3 firms, in any order: @Bernard Reisz (ReSure), @Yonah Weiss (Madison SPEC) and @Julio Gonzalez (Engineered Tax Services).For DIY - read this post: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1136752-expla... 

You act like you’re sharing a secret with the world when the world already knows about search engine optimization.

Your target, from what you wrote, would be cheaper renters looking for a value stay that is clean, but unspectacular.If you market is saturated, you will keep going lower and lower in the algorithm which will indirectly restrict booking.

The engineer I'm currently working with drew up a plan for five townhouses.

I have two degrees in mechnaical engineering and in automation, I had several coaches during my corporate career (paid by my employer) and KW offers a lot of exceptional one-on-one coaching.

These can include inputting your own information and getting a cost seg in 15 min, or having an engineer come to your property and make a more detailed study of your STR. 

With a background in Engineering, I’ve developed a passion for real estate investment.
