Unless the location is terrible and it's just not worth it)* Last resort: Fix it up the best you can, see if you can flip it to get your money back.

I work at an architecture firm that designs luxury hotel resorts and wineries.

There are a couple of other turn-key players in town that you may want to check in to as well.

Like in sports, the older players may not be as agile and strong as the youngsters, but they have more experience and better strategies and know how to harness what they have and make it work. 

Because of this, choosing real estate tech investments relies less on the specific technology that a company is creating, and more on their ability to sell that tech to the big players in the industry.

There just was not the turn key presence there was or is in say a Memphis were you have 2 or 3 of the bigger players in the industry all working the same market...

As mentioned, it is similar to most other places with respect to the players involved in a typical transaction. 

Charles, aren't the "players" at LU doing multi-family and using forced appreciation to make their money?

That's why I'm looking at it as my last resort and I sure do hope I'm right.
