Hattie, I wasn't intending for my post to come off like the standard "I watched a flipping show & need easy money because I've got this".

But of course you need to bring the living conditions up to an acceptable standard.

I think the 'standard' for many cities that even allow them is they can be up after 5pm on Friday and have to be taken down before Monday morning.As far as false advertising .. that's a stretch.  

Except... when I am buying of course since I know my team can rent/lease it out quickly in most scenarios as long as we can bring up to standard quickly.

A better accounting solution would be nice.I think Buildium is the de facto standard right now although they made (in my opinion) a mistake by hiking the costs for new landlords under their 40 units.

So I have some knowledge in this area outside of just my standard REI investment books that i have read.Rich Dad Poor Dad (Yeah I'm sure you have heard of it once or twice) is the book that changed my way of thinking back when I first read it at the age of 15.

My company is based in Texas and Atlanta was the first city outside of Texas that they affiliated with because of their belief in our expanding market.  

I initially started with a belief that we could form a REIT but after a few Google searches it seemed like the regulations to acquire this structure did not seem attainable.

Ok, so let's start with AVG Active Inventory Level for SF homes throughout the year.Oh boy, COVID brought some obvious divergence from the 5-year trend. 2020 starts with the second-lowest Inventory Level of the past 5 years, but it quickly converged within the standard range.

Yoy need to identify what you want for returns and set your standards.
