Hey I’ve been working on something big and starting to bring the right people around it early.It’s a high-end experience-driven project, and I’m connecting with a few business-minded people to share the vision and get their thoughts before we take the next step.

I spoke to a Psychiatrist on the data, asking her to explain why I was seeing all this in the data.

Unfortunately far too many folks try to create Excel (or generic spreadsheets) to store, manipulate, and generate forms for word data, which, at least in the context of PM, is very much different from number data.

If you have driven around the City of Detroit, some times you are in a decent area and walk one block away and find you are in a nasty area. 

That’s worked well, but as I look toward the next phase (and eventual retirement), I want to intentionally shift from appreciation-driven growth to stable, income-focused investing for retirement income  I’m considering deploying ~$2M to buy 4-6 properties in all cash.

If designed well, you are talking about renters getting SFH like experiences with a private yard.

If you look at the data, the issues start well before 70 units:1 listing: 4.8 avg review2-20 listings: 4.7 avg review21-100 listings: 4.6 avg review101-1000 listings: 4.5 avg review1000+ listings: 4.4 avg review(https://www.phocuswire.com/power-of-reviews-in-the-short-term-rental-sector)This was the inspiration behind Fairly: to capture the customer satisfaction of small hosts, and pair it with industry-leading yield management, automation, etc.And our results have proven this out: with over 5,000 guest reviews, our average home has a 4.95 rating (and our median home has a 5.0!) 

I’m very systems/data-oriented, so my main goal is to build a simple, repeatable “numbers” operating system for rentals. i.e. clear cash-flow visibility and consistent tracking. so I can make low-stress, data-driven decisions and manage risk.

Without deep diving into the data, I'll guesstimate that in 2025, about 10% of all sales in Maricopa County were not on the MLS.If you're a buyer, you will have no problem quickly making contacts who work off-market.

Mass mail is dying because the cost of bad data is too high.
