@Joshua Simmons Congrats on starting the journey!

AI is definitely taking over follow up re-engagement and appointment setting though.

One thing I’ve always done is focus on the 75th percentile of the rent estimates, as my properties tend to fall into that range (very nice, but small with no amenities).While I think there will always be some manual research involved, the current platforms lack key functionality that could be easily implemented with the available market data and technology.1.Quality Metrics:•Filter comps to match the quality of your rentals.

Is it as simple as getting the site designed and engineered for the footprint, cleared and graded (all of which I am comfortable with), and then hiring a GC to build the building?

The rate and terms on the 2nd lien position if you can find one may also not make it worth the cash out.

In which case, the "general" rule is the closer you are to downtown the better. 

Many of the OTAs and lead gen sites, like Furnished Finder, are pushing credit card payments. 99.9% of the time I get a message from FF saying 'your tenant would prefer to pay by credit card so activate Stripe now!' 

Start building relationships at real estate meetups, REIAs, and even through property managers who may know of landlords looking to offload properties.Do not overlook the power of your personal network.

You can build a list of target properties, call those owners, follow-up long-term and be there to buy or help them sell when the opportunity presents itself.
