The price point also plays a critical role.

I was lucky to have a renaissance man for a grandfather and an extremely hardworking father as role models so that helped.

I agree, open houses will not play a big role in this new market.

Timing played a role in my sucess as 2010 was basically the bottom of the financial crash (wish I would have been more aggressive back then :-)). 

As we get closer and closer to rates pivoting, you're going to see these same people unbuckle from US debt into US hard assets even more, we've seen a glimpse of that thus far this year.

The accountant is one of the least important roles, they are generally a dime a dozen and, as long as you aren't trying to hire one at this time of the year to file your 2023 taxes, you will have plenty of time to interview and hire one throughout the summer and fall for your 2024 tax filing.And flips are easy accounting.  

The traditional role of the realtor is evolving, perhaps even facing extinction, as artificial intelligence (AI) and innovative disruption tools emerge.

Our only concern is with the stability of the market, what happens if the rents reset in the area and the property no longer cash flows due to affordability in the 2 year time frame of us buying and then getting ready to move out would we just try and hold through that and even pay at a loss for a bit or do you pivot and sale?

Might help drive some business toward you but also show the municipality that you are taking an active role to help non clients make their STRs better for neighbors.

I'll play your role this time:"Just house hack!"
