.: Hi all- I'm in a fortunate position that I've been able to buy  some good multi's with my own cash, but I'm now looking at buying more properties and will want to utilize some leverage.

in the Milwaukee area (out of the city) utilizing the VA loan.

Here is how I understand it works:- You search for homes inside the platform which has full MLS access- It utilizes AI to analyze a home and spot red flags, provide comps, and market analysis- They partner with local realtors who are paid a flat fee to unlock and show you the home- Ai will provide price recommendations and draft an offer (always reviewed by a real human broker)- A human specialist helps keep things like inspection, lender requests, and title tasks on track- The seller pays Homa the full (typically 2.5-3%) buyer’s agent commission.

@Reuben LewisFor a turnkey STR like that, it’s best to start with cash flow first, estimate realistic occupancy, nightly rate, cleaning and management fees, plus utilities and HOA.

I would imagine this model appeals to a younger group of people - but is there an age at which individuals don't interact / get along well.  

The sheer scale of the expansion up the 75 corridor is undeniable, but I’m cautious about the 'pioneer tax' for smaller investors right now.I've seen a few folks buy land in Anna/Sherman thinking it’s a slam dunk, only to get crushed by holding costs while waiting for utilities or zoning to catch up to the hype.

I’m researching alternative industrial uses where access to substations, fiber routes, and zoning flexibility are key constraints.Curious what others have seen in terms of:- Counties most open to non-traditional industrial uses- Typical setbacks or zoning hurdles- Utility engagement at early land-evaluation stageNot looking to pitch anything, just trying to understand how others approach feasibility.

Lately in Indy I have been padding my hold time, assuming permits and inspections take longer than you want, and I only count the profit after I subtract financing costs, taxes, insurance, utilities, agent fees, and a real contingency because that is where people fool themselves.

Zoning, septic capacity, utility layout, road placement… those choices either lock in long‑term upside or lock in long‑term headaches.

I think he is a person of integrity that had a very bad sequence of events occur based on all interactions we've had.
