My name is Dakota Pratt.Currently looking to work in Mobile County, AL.

Better winterization protocols, freeze sensors, or even hiring property management (8–10%) could restore stability.

I built a quick mobile calculator for myself so I can screen deals while I’m driving around looking at properties, but I want to make sure my assumptions are solid before relying on it too heavily.Also happy to connect with other veterans using their VA loan in this market.Appreciate any feedback.

The lot has a single-wide mobile home and 2 RV hookups. 

He has separate AI agents for each mobile home and RV park.

This is one of those weeks where the headlines will try to pull your attention in ten different directions.Manufacturing data.Employment numbers.Retail sales.Jobless claims.The full jobs report Friday.Here’s the development that actually deserves your focus:The Department of Housing and Urban Development is proposing a rule that would allow local housing authorities and landlords to impose time limits and work requirements on Section 8 rental subsidies.What’s being discussed:• Time limits as short as two years• Work requirements up to 40 hours per week• Elderly and disabled tenants exempt• Adoption left to local housing authorities and participating property ownersRoughly 9 million Americans receive federal housing assistance.Supporters argue rental aid isn’t an entitlement and that time limits could promote mobility while freeing up vouchers for families stuck on long waiting lists.Critics argue most recipients who can work already do — wages simply haven’t kept pace with rent — and strict limits could increase housing instability during a period of record-high costs.The proposal is being published today and will be open for 60 days of public comment.Now zoom out.Housing is not a luxury product.It is infrastructure.When affordability tightens, policy pressure builds.

I’ve successfully built a stack that automates the intake and skip-tracing process for approximately $0.15–$0.30 per lead (API costs only).The Strategic Flow:Data Integrity: Using Google Address Autocomplete to ensure zero-error data entry from the start.Instant Valuation: Pulling real-time market data to provide the seller with a custom offer range immediately.Automated Skip Tracing: The system automatically pulls legal owner names, mobile numbers, and emails the second the form is submitted.Remote Management: I manage the entire logic (margins, repair costs, SMS triggers) through a Slack/Telegram integration so I don't need a heavy CRM.I’m currently running this through a Google Sheets backend to keep the tech stack lightweight.I’m curious to hear from the veterans here—at what volume does it make sense to move away from 'all-in-one' platforms and into custom API-driven automation?
