In fact, it feels like more red tape keeps getting added under the guise of “safety” or “efficiency,” while in reality, it's just making housing less accessible and more expensive.We’ve seen the same pattern across multiple markets: delays in plan checks, inconsistent communication from municipalities, and constant second-guessing on whether a job needs an architect, a draftsman, or a GC to move forward.

Because we all know what the struggles of being a business owner are—dealing with constant rejection, adjusting to new difficult circumstances, or making a new plan overnight. 9-5 salary workers just don't understand!

For me, I run my own experiments and constantly try to get better/improve operations.

We find land constantly, have a proven track record of super high IRR (worst build was 18% IRR). 

Yes, having multiple streams of income and high income businesses helps for emergency debt service, which is very rare for the kinds of properties I buy but my income streams and businesses can very comfortably afford $1,800-$2K/month.

Managing the manager is going to be a constant process, as they will not take care of the property as much of the actual owner.

I really was hoping to build a long-term relationship and stream of income from these flips.

It constantly saves changes so I'm not worried about errors like you mentioned.

The issue that I see for STR is the constant upkeep and maintenance as you have a lot of different folks transiting through your property - that's a headache I don't need. 

This happens a lot with contractors & companies in order to keep a constant steady flow of work.
