I do not think Buildium sync with QB.As for the OP—you run the PM so you have full access to Buildium?

Building costs swing wildly depending on where you are and how custom the build is, but here’s a quick reality check from what I’ve seen lately:Basic spec or builder-grade new construction: around $225–$275 per square foot.Mid-range custom or semi-custom: more like $300–$375 per foot.High-end custom homes (especially with slope, trees, or tight access) can hit $400–$500+ per foot real fast.A lot of folks forget how much the site adds — clearing, grading, utilities, septic, driveway… those things alone can tack on $50–$100k before you even pour a slab.As for permitting, brace yourself.

Also, keeping an eye on areas with strong job growth, good schools, and transportation access usually points to solid long-term investment potential.

The process is quite simple; once your application is submitted, you will receive a notification and gain access to both background and credit reports.This platform not only enables you to screen applicants but also allows you to market properties, receive payments, and handle maintenance requests.

With a property manager, you often lose access to the short-term rental tax loophole, which is one of the major perks of STRs.

Have a full plan in place to help lower costs for bulk purchasing.

@Hilary SackorHi Hilary — I invest in Midwest markets and have seen strong opportunities in areas with lower acquisition costs but good rental demand.

To access equity you can either do a 1031, cash out refi or a HELOC (tougher to do on investment property).

The better the asset, the lower the ratio that becomes.

These connections give us a competitive edge in accessing deals.
