Hi guys, It's my first STR, located in Beaufort, SC and they require a Rental Agreement for the guests.  

There are several key differences and considerations to keep in mind when investing in a larger building.First and foremost, financing a larger apartment building will likely require a commercial loan, as opposed to a residential mortgage.

While there's no shortage of options out there,as you mentioned, such as PropStream, DealCheck, REI Simpli, and Podio, the aim is to stand out by honing in on what really matters to investors: ROI, value, performance, efficiency, and possibly price.Expanding on what matters as outlined earlier, here are my assumptions regarding what investors might require if I were to launch a product today:User-Friendly Experience: A platform that feels like second nature to real estate investors, with intuitive design and features that make life easier.All-in-One Solutions: A toolbox stacked with everything necessary for successful investing—from finding leads to analyzing deals and managing properties.Seamless Integration: Make workflow smoother by seamlessly connecting with other essential tools and platforms you rely on.Insightful Analytics: Next-level decision-making with advanced analytics and data visualization that help you optimize investment strategies.Now, the challenge lies in the fact that every investor is unique, and the features might be excessive if they don't offer genuine value.

They can red tag it and require all 5 inspections to get a Certificate of Occupancy. 

Now is an awful time to buy real estate because it is over inflated and most people require leverage which is expensive.

Do you require a lien release for work performed?
