Hi, I have inherited some rental properties so new to being a landlord and looking to spin up some efficient systems quickly (different than the paper checks my parents collected each month :-) ).  

They can evaluate the home’s layout, electrical capacity and insulation to recommend the most practical system for that market.Since there is no ductwork, many investors consider ductless mini-split heat pumps because they are energy-efficient and easier to install than adding full ductwork.

I am also working on setting up my vendor/referal list, buyers list, and getting an efficient process down for finding distressed properties. 

But if the portfolio is scattered, those efficiencies disappear quickly.The other big factor is whether you actually want to run a management business inside your investment business.

Along the way we developed a deep appreciation for building systems, teams, and long-term value - principles we’re now applying to real estate investing.Our long-term goal is to build a 2,500+ door portfolio while partnering with great people along the way.Our primary strategy right now is coliving, which we’ve found to be one of the most efficient ways to generate strong cash flow while providing high-quality, affordable housing in strong growth markets like Atlanta, Phoenix, Houston, and Dallas (to name a few).

Sounds like you’re very well positioned to help investors move deals faster and more efficiently in today’s market.

Up to this point I have built most of the homes for myself using cash, but it ties up a lot of capital that I feel could be deployed more efficiently if I used financing.For those of you doing new construction and holding properties, what types of loans or financing strategies have worked best for you?

According to the National Association of HomebuildersStudies show that regulations imposed by government (mostly state/local) account for nearly 25% of the price of building a single-family home and more than 40% of the cost of a typical multifamily development (aka why the rent be so damn high) (NAHB).The Reality of New Construction and Affordable HousingIt’s fundamentally illogical to expect the newest, most expensive (and yet most efficient way per unit to build housing)— aka newly built multifamily apartments—to serve as the primary source of affordable or workforce housing.

Homa keeps their fee of $1,995 and credits back the difference to you (the buyer)I see how they are blending human support with Ai for efficiency.

Interested to hear what processes people are using that help keep things organized and efficient for everyone involved.
