I wanted to hope on here and ask a question to all my business development people out there.

Rent Butter has already done all this.We helped them develop their tool:)

I've developed a decent size buyers list over the years, as my local market is a really good market to be in and price of entry is very cheap.

I’ve spent the last few months looking at the technical side of real estate lead generation, specifically from a developer's perspective.In 2026, it feels like the 'Subscription Trap' is tighter than ever.

-Costs and Numbers: Ballpark for site development on a small scale (pads, septic, electric)?

@Michael Cadden,Welcome to the BP community.Great job getting started in the development space. 

Louisville and the broader Kentucky market are especially well-positioned as manufacturing, onshoring, energy, logistics, and industrial development continue to accelerate.Be safe with the storm.

Lots of building code requirements that won’t be inexpensive to develop this into an ADU.4 Secure the proper permits and all required inspectionsAside from zoning and building code issues, the question should be what the cost is and what will it rent for and how long to recoup your money.

I’ve been in property management long enough to develop a very specific sixth sense.Not danger.

I think the biggest challenge with STRs is the initial setup and development of systems. 10-15 hours a week is more than enough time to manage your STR once you have all your systems in place (think cleaners, guest messages, house turnover, pricing management, etc).
