Can a fully integrated (Property Management, Construction Management, Brokerage) small-time investor hit the same IRR's buying distressed 10 units and under properties as someone doing a hotel development?

I think there is an integration via Zapier.

Warning to myself and my BP family – nurture your personal integrity!

Having said that, I have been able to get a feel for how they operate and their integrity.  

No integrity, bad ethics, would never want to work with them again. 

Be willing to ask lots of questions of them and when you don't know the answer to their questions have the integrity to say " I will get an answer for you."  

.$250 - $300 / sqft is what the vertically integrated builders are paying - since you're going to be hiring contractors you should budget $300 - $350 /sqft , which would cover soft costs (like permits, plans, and/or entitlements) and hard construction costs. 

I heard there are ways to integrate Quickbooks w/ Excel so they sync together.

If so, do those apps integrate into your existing CRM/data management programs?

Integrity goes a long way in this business.
