It is not really apples to apples, but generally speaking the more money invested the further ahead you will be eventually in the future, just because your compounding base is higher, regardless of where the money comes from - ie, 4 300k properties are 1.2 million on property, which is double the 600k property.

@Gash Nookala,Renting can indeed be slower in winter, but here are some tips to boost interest:Enhance Listing: Ensure your listing has detailed descriptions and high-quality photos—consider professional photography if needed.Competitive Pricing: Double-check local comps; even a slight price adjustment or incentives (like a reduced deposit) could attract more interest.Broaden Marketing: Beyond Zillow, Hemlane, and MLS, use social media, community boards, and local business connections to reach a wider audience.Flexible Lease Terms: Offering shorter or month-to-month leases might appeal to tenants during this slower season.Local Property Manager: A local pro can tap into their network and help fill the vacancy faster.These steps should help you find a tenant despite the seasonal slowdown.

The bonds example was very helpful and made the concept much easier to grasp.

Another tip: I think if your schedule and time allows it, go and stay at the property for a night or two.

Further, I’ve had rental property since 2010 and a short term rental since 2016 - not sure where you get your stats from.

Have you worked in this area before, or do you have any tips for someone just getting started?

Any time you "are trying to be nice" or "give them a break", not only do you undermine the legal foundations of your lease, you embolden the unethical tenants to move the boundary further in their favor.

Anyone could suggest any tips, resources, or builders/contractors they had worked with?
