So often you see a bland 'beach/ocean' themed STRs...I get it, people are booking your condo to go to the beach and relax, but you can have a fun, stand out theme that still revolves around the ocean, relaxation, etc.

People don't like surprises.

It's been interesting, because lately a number of people have had this exact problem and we've been discussing it on this forum and personally with others we know. 

Have you been going to local meetups in your area to meet other people flipping locally?

People would often debate whether it was worth it to take depreciation, “Since you have to pay it back anyway…”.

Easy way to figure out basic land comps for MF and townhouse is to simply call around to experienced RE agents and ask them what developers are paying per door for raw dirt..Like 10k a door or 20k a door etc.. each area has its number and its easy to find.then when looking at the dirt simply check the zoning and see what density is allowed back that off a tad because its rare that you maximize density on a project then run the numbers..

Key is to make sure you are not cash poor.What I am seeing right now in some sub2 FB groups and a few posts here on BP is people who got close to 100% financing on properties, have a tenant in them but need a major repair and have no funds for that repair. 

Companies and people/investor change overtime so it's not a bad idea to see if they're still the best fit for how you would like to see the properties managed.

You're investing there, paying taxes, making friends, bringing your friends and hoping to create a safe space for others to visit where the people on the other end of the line live full time. 

Or, potentially, open it up to more people with smaller minimums.
