The National Retail Federation (NRF) reports declines of 6.5% in back-to-school spending and 7.9% for back-to-college, with shoppers focusing on frugal choices amid rising inflation concerns and an upcoming presidential election.During the pandemic, families spent more on school supplies and remote learning gear, but priorities have shifted to travel, dining, and entertainment.

Part of my reason for getting into REI is so I can live the wanderer lifestyle while I'm still young enough to do it and enjoy the activities that we love; we have a Northern Lite truck camper and while it's a bit too small for my husband and I, our 2 dogs and cat, it's perfect for traveling up to a couple weeks at a time, which is what we both want to do.Thanks again to everyone for the great advice and warm welcome.

And it's actually going to make us MORE money with WAY less work and headache 🙏 (I mean we'll still have tenants so its not without headache).I also have 2 littles, whom I homeschool, were just finishing up renovating a school bus, and started a couple businesses, while traveling the country (hippie scientist gone green real estate investor 🤓, still hippie 🌈✌️🚌, with hottie chef husband 👨‍🍳).

I think the shift in demand is primarily due to (i) locals (within 2-3 hour drive) being more open to travel to further destinations despite the pandemic and (ii) significantly increased STR supply in the market (the number of permits in operations today are apx. 2x what they were early 2020). 

But I cant depend on this PM hence looking for anyone who has few under their belt and understands how international student market in this neighborhood works. 

International Paper's cutbacks at the Riegelwood, NC pulp facility doesn't help.

so i just worry about new investors who haven't internalized (yet?)

Travel as much as you can.
