Once you've identified what's important and what ratios to look for to evaluate a property, all future deals should be weighted against those "good" ratios/numbers - and periodically adjust to suit your goals.

How do you identify emerging markets before they become over saturated?

Identifying value-add opportunities in strong neighborhoods and negotiating deals that make sense is something I’ve done a lot, so I understand what it takes to make these projects successful.If you’d like, we can connect and talk through some strategies or areas to focus on—I’m here to help however I can.

Here’s how they approached it:1.Scraping Listings: They used web scraping tools like Beautiful Soup and GPT APIs to scan Airbnb for properties in their target areas.2.Image Analysis: They trained an AI model to analyse listing photos, identifying homes with solid potential (good structure, layout, location) that were undervalued due to low-quality photos.

Securing funding has been challenging, particularly because my business documents reflect low revenue from only one duplex, and I am currently between jobs.I have identified a reasonably priced piece of land and have saved a small portion of the funds from my duplex sale to invest in this venture.

It may be best if you identify a property, even if it's a longshot and work with a lender to see what they would ask and how they respond.

Leveraging our market connections, we identified the property’s potential and negotiated favorable terms directly with the seller, securing it at a highly competitive price.

Assets identified in this study include:Appliances: Dishwasher, microwave, oven refrigeratorInterior Finishes: countertopsFurniture and Fixtures: shelving, built in cabinetry and decorative light fixturesSpecialized Equipment: Electrical systems and specialized wiringHVAC controls and specialized components63.6% of the total depreciable basis was classified as 39-year class life.

For example how do you identify with confidence that your market attracts more professionals vs. families vs. bachelor/bachelorette parties, etc. and therefore how you'd know which amenities to offer?
