Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

@Adam Peralto More & more owners are posting here on BP about their rentals sitting vacant too long.Which means owners aren't paying attention to the rental market - which is slowing, causing Days On Market (DOM) to increase:(Take a look at the graph below from ShowMojo, comparing average DOM for 2018-2024.DOM are now about 40% longer than they were 2 years ago.Many owners also don't seem to be aware of real estate market fundamentals, such as seasonal effects:1) After September, when kids go back to school, there's a noticeable dip in activity in both the sales & rentals.2) After Halloween, there's another noticeable dip.

My credit score is 765 and I have the best credit history never missing a payment which will help me and my investments.Where can I find an investor to give me $50,000 to show the lender I have income and a down payment?

If the house takes longer to sell, we aren't losing money every month on interest payments and can hold for the right sell price.Cons:We lose our regular stable monthly income and have to rebuild again (we have done this before - this would be our 2nd "bootstrap, build, sell" business)We lose our 5 year history when it comes to conventional mortgages and moving into a new home for our own family in the next 2-4 yearsThoughts / recommendations?

It's like free REI school and it's gets easier once you do it. 

Business is like a high school and most people in real world are emotionally driven and irrational.

We converted the STR units to student housing in the school year and only STR them in the summer.  

@Chris Miller history doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.I remember 2006, and how the fed was engineering a beautiful soft landing and everything was great and home builder stocks and banks and investment banks were THE stocks to own because all the data was pointing to a rosy future.The only data source you would need is the yield curve.
