I understand that location will influence this.

The more knowledge someone possess about anything that could influence that investment whether micro or macro, the better or rather the more accurate his analysis will become.  

I noticed that all the STR influencers started doing value add projects instead as well shifting from buying turn key... as turn key really doesn't work anymore.

People are excited to get back into city spaces so some markets are doing very well on STR while others looks to be drying up (travel that was influenced on the circumstances).

I am sure from what I know of him he would have made his way to his current course without ever meeting our company, yet, I am also sure that having met us and having a partner that used to work with us has had a heavy influence on the way he operates.As for your question itself,  today we manage 3,648 properties in three cities Memphis, Dallas, and Houston.  

Like others have said there is no magic bullet, but here is my personal advice:1) know the industry- spend an hour a day reading influencers in your area about what they are saying in the market, stay current on trends, and general news making in real estate.

THEY WILL BE THE SINGLE GREATEST INFLUENCE TO YOUR SUCCESS.

Unions have a lot of political influence too .

I think the state of the property shouldn't be influencing the insurance up.  

I know, your heard differently from TikTok influencers.
