Would love to connect and hear about your experiences as a realtor and investor.

Generally houses worth 200-300k rent in my experience close to 1750-2250 in AL if you can get section 8 assuming you have 3-5 bedrooms3.

Here are some trends that could play out, or further develop in 2025.Leasing & Tenant Experience AI-Powered Leasing: Chatbots and AI tools will streamline leasing processes, from answering tenant inquiries to scheduling tours.Virtual Tours & Digital Leasing: These will become even more standard, making it easier for tenants to rent remotely.TechnologySmart Property Management: IoT devices (smart locks, thermostats, etc.) will become more common, improving efficiency and tenant satisfaction.Property Management Software: Platforms will integrate more AI for predictive maintenance, rent collection, and financial reporting.SustainabilityGreen building practices and energy-efficient upgrades will be a major focus, driven by tenant demand and potential incentives.AI & AutomationAI will play a bigger role in tenant screening, rent pricing optimization, and even predicting market trends.Automation will handle repetitive tasks like maintenance requests and lease renewals, freeing up PMs for higher-level activities.I'm sure there are plenty more shifting trends that I haven't mentioned and that are sure to evolve over the next year. 

I personally do not have experience managing rentals.

And there are some investors who go for those lesser quality areas, because they have experience in those types of properties and know they can buy there inexpensively.

I love how you’ve integrated the lessons from The Fountainhead and Frank Lloyd Wright into your personal and professional journey, especially as you pursue both beautiful design and a growing real estate portfolio.Your ambition to scale up to $20M and beyond is exciting, and I’m sure with your drive, experience, and passion for architecture, you’re on the right path.

We cut that cost in half by training and certifying people on our team and it created a better experience overall. 

Hey Derrick, I have a lot of experience in Detroit.

It would just need to be a situation where they have great contact with the person doing that managing of the project (I.e. have known the person for years, great reputation, person has experience in flipping etc.).
