@Julie Silvestro - Think of other businesses vying for an apartment owner's attention and copy what seems to work for them.LED / Energy Efficient Lighting - they will advertise it as 50% annual ROI or "2 year payback" with a 10-30 year useful life. i.e.

Poor Outcome: None of my properties so far have cash flowed, reevaluate my buy-and-hold strategy.Year: 2035-, Occupation: Tenured Professor, Location TBDGoal: Steadily grow my portfolio as time and financing allow.I have a few specific questions about this plan.The first 15 years are slow because I am assuming, as a researcher vying for a faculty position, I will have no time and no money.

Unfortunately it’s a sellers market right now so they have more buyers vying for properties so they have less motivation to accept a lower price. 

@Vy MaiConsider looking into opening a self-directed IRA or 401(k) for investing in real estate.

Other property owners may be vying for the same renters, which could lead to lower occupancy rates and less rental income.Seasonal Fluctuations: The rental income for a short-term rental property in a beach area may fluctuate seasonally, with lower demand during off-peak seasons.Maintenance Costs: Owning a short-term rental property requires regular upkeep and maintenance to keep it in top condition.

@Vy MaiIt’s concerning but why panic!

I bet though if you came in Nun pro tunc or however you say or pronounce that.. you could overbid.We had that happen to us in CA. but it was on a 250 lot subdivision and some pretty heavy hitters all vying for it.. but we were in escrow had worked it.. getting ready for final court approval and this other company shows up with there legal team and blewey the deal is fubared we ended up with it. and of course this was 1987 so I am a little fuzzy on it.. but it reminded me of that event as it was to tramatic for us...

When rates increase, competition for vying homes will decrease which will lower prices.
