I even had the crew that delivered my last dishwasher delivery not know it was haul away and had to tell them to take the old one.  

This of course will affect productivity and delivery schedules.WE got all of ours out by the 15th and filed all the state returns by the 15th. 

Supply is Tightening • After record deliveries in 2023–24, new construction is dropping 60–70% in 2025. • That slowdown + strong demand = more stability for landlords in the next few years. 

There are definitely still supply/demand imbalances in quite a few Sunbelt markets at the moment, and the Huntsville area is no exception.Single-family and multifamily new deliveries peaked in Q2 2023, so there’s still a bunch of new inventory waiting to be absorbed—hence the negative rent growth and appreciation some folks are seeing right now.In my view, what’s interesting about places like Decatur and Meridianville is not where they are now, but where they’ll be in a decade.The Huntsville metro area is constrained by mountainous geography to the east (beginning with Monte Sano State Park and beyond), so the natural path of development and progress is west towards Wheeler Lake and north towards Meridianville and Hazel Green.If the Huntsville metro area continues to match the pace of demographic growth it’s seen since the 1990s, these suburbs could, in my humble opinion, look very different down the line. 

Later this year, as a bunch of Fourplexes from different projects deliver, I will post budgeted financials vs actuals, and also post multiple unedited reviews from the buyers.

If I have a problem with my newspaper delivery or something equally non-critical, I'd like an answer or fix  now, but if it's later today or tomorrow, not a big deal. 

Delivery costs. 

Not including delivery cost.  

Some investors will also hire a local co host or property manager who can handle setup, take deliveries, and oversee projects if you don’t want to be hands on.If you want to keep more control, you can also hire a designer just for the setup phase to get the property ready, then hand it off to your cleaner or PM.

You could hire a local handyman to pickup and assemble items.You could also go to too to go and buy the big stuff and have it delivered.Other stuff you could order on Wayfair and Amazon and have it shipped to the house.A local staging company might be willing to help you and coordinate deliveries that you purchase.Turnkey is going to cost a lot more.
