Early failure is when hings don't go as planned at the start of something new, like a project or a job.

Here are the projections for 2024 to give an idea of expected returns:2024 IncomeLong-term Income$8,400Gross STR Income$45,500 (based on AirDNA projections)Additional STR Income$5,915 (mostly cleaning fees)Total Projected Income$59,8152024 ExpensesSTR Expenses$16,453 (32% ratio)Mortgage$34,476Insurance$707CapEx$3,600Taxes$2,729Total Expenses$57,965Projected Cash Flow$1,850CoC Return2.79%2024 Additional ReturnsPrincipal Paydown$2,930Equity Appreciation$16,200Mortgage Interest Deduction$7,571Total$26,701Total Projected Returns$28,551Projected Return on Investment43.1%Projected Return on Equity21.4%The CoC numbers are not impressive, and the property only cash flows as an STR, which carries some risk.

Good luck with all your future REI ventures!

Maybe in the future if panels get a huge efficiency boost. 

Definitely depends on lots of factors - I would strongly suggest learning how to do basic modeling/underwriting and projecting the cash flows out in different scenarios 

However after all the work thats required which includes landscape, parking lot, fencing lighting and interior/exterior work, it looks like the presumed cost of remodeling it will be double that, although Im not positive (still taking bids).Ive priced a comparable property in our area which has similar square footage and lot size and they seem to be going between $700-800k, and so my question is: based on a higher than expected construction cost which is necessary to finish our project, one which will exceed the amount of money of what a similar property goes for in our neighbrhood, should I continue with this project, or an alternative plan would be to simply beautify it for approximately 100-150k and ditch the plans, and flip it instead for approximately 700-800k now that its zoned commercial.My fear is that if I do invest the moneys to finish the project over the budget I initially priced it for, and the business doesnt take off, I would initially lose money on this investment.Thank you for taking the time reading this.

Do you know how hard it's gotta be to convince future Uber drivers to become loan officers with the way rates have been moving?

Here is their summary of the bills:  would allow counties to phase out transient accommodation rentals as a type of residential use and asserts that any future "residential" use shall not include transient accommodations.

Otherwise, you're buying "secret sauce" projections, not real data.Hope this helps!
