Hey all, I’m putting together a plan for flipping a house and I’m curious what y’all use for design software?

You have a good niche with flipping, design, and Airbnb.

For this type of project, is it worth hiring a house designer or an architecture firm?

Yes I'm very confident as the purpose of the build and design is to create a seamless experience with built in amenities from the very beginning instead of cobbling together different things and following the same amenities war.It also adds to the difficulty of getting a normal appraisal in a rural town.Thankfully there are unique structures around me such as geodomes, tents, bus converted to airbnb, unique treehouse types.

A cheap finish selection designer will likely cost you $5-7k. 

@Kumar KitThat sounds like a really exciting project — combining steel modular prefab with a lakefront STR opportunity is a smart move, especially in a market with that kind of nightly rate potential.A few creative strategies you might consider:•Equity Partnerships: Partner with a builder or private investor who can bring capital or GC services in exchange for equity in the STR or future profits from similar builds.

And full service design from a capable designer, that will actually help take work off your plate does not come cheap.Second, short term rentals are NOT the same as typical interior design. 

Just read an article I  wanted to share on physical security strategies for multifamily properties.

What does an exit strategy look like/consist of for multi family properties?

I’m looking for design help!
