The state’s housing is also ranked as the fourth most affordable in the country.Alabama currently has the second-lowest average property tax rate in the country at 0.4%, which helps investors keep more of the money they earn.

The long-standing average here in Milwaukee is $200 per door.

Pros to my current position: Secure, w2, pay is above average, benefits are stellar, schedule is somewhat flexible (can leave if I need to without penalty; vacation when I want - utilizing banked time on both), 3 miles from home, and hopefully a pension in 17 years. 

It’s really a wild market and variable options can cause flux in multiple directions like jobs report which you would think have been the opposite either way causes some confusion in predicting perfect storm.As a banker who funds a good number of investment purchases and primary homes each month I have seen a big drop and its over 1% on average in rates since June.

The average STR host has only 2 prices the whole year when you should have 365 different prices to maximize booking.

People say it can save around 30% on average, but of course you're internalizing some risk, too.

That brings it to $130K a year.In Jan 2023 my average days on market is 83, my average sale price is $367,000 and the average commission was 2.5 percent.  

This is a bad decision from average standpoint, but good mentally from a retirement standpoint.  

Suburban markets outside of NYC like Long Island and Westchester continue to see price growth and high demand.That said, NYC's median sale price is about double the national average so speaking with a lender is recommended at this early stage.

I pulled every 1bed/2bed/3bed/4bed listing that was rented over the last 180 days and then found the average and median amounts.
