Nor can you expect a house that needs full sourcing including exterior backyard development, to a fully outfitted game room — to be $100.STR Designers are vital — we bridge the gap with real estate acumen, professional design (and yes we are different than traditional interior designers!)

  $18/SF actually seems pretty reasonable if they're talking about both adding Airbnbable amenities and outfitting the property as an STR.Because even just outfitting it as an STR is more expensive than you'll prepare yourself for. 

I would also suggest you maybe seek out a bigger wholesale or flipping outfit in your area that can bring you on and you can learn from them and then take those skills to do your own thing! 

Likely a cookie cutter average home will not cut it, it likely has to be well located and extremely well outfitted. 

I work with all the big box lenders and I have worked with a private hedge fund and I have worked with smaller, local HM outfits and NONE OF THEM had anything like that.Because if the deal falls apart I am guessing they keep your 2500.

Quote from @Judith Sullivan: Yes as the ones mentioned, Yardi and Appfolio are the highend ones, there are a couple other ones out there at your size you can look into and save a little money until you grow to a bigger outfit.

Quote from @Andrew Steffens: Hey BobI always advise my clients to budget $20/ft all in cost for a professionally designed and fully outfitted. 

That's the exact scenario I see fail over and over.If you wanna flip with cushion you can't buy on market or through the high priced wholesale outfits. 

And got her son a full sports outfit with crypto from a professional NBA franchise(same owners for the dealership & franchise).People can disbelieve Bitcoin, etc., bottom line is emerging markets are usually correlated with higher population growth and desperate needs for infrastructure. 

No lender with half a brain is going to allow you to be 100% financed on an investment property unless they are some shady loan-to-own outfit.
