Do you feel the additional drivers of the Northern Lights in areas like Fairbanks would help increase winter occupancy better than places like Anchorage?

As a reminder, the February BLS report delivered a shocking +275,000 jobs.

The main drivers are proximity to substation (power grid), flatness, and exposure to the sun.

👍💪Plus my first job as a teenager was delivering pizzas on my bicycle in Forest Hills Queens NY

Increased rates makes it more difficult for first time buyers because 1) the financed payment goes up 2) it decreases movement which results in boomers, etc not downsizing which lowers volume on the market and helps keep the prices from falling.Other drivers for these large rent increases are the recent property appreciation (last 10 years have had huge RE appreciation) and rents lag the property value increases, the Covid eviction moratorium has identified new risk that must be reflected in the income, the continuing trend to move to high growth areas which results in a large housing shortage in these areas, the lag of new housing starts that has existed since the Great Recession.  

- upping your max # of guests somehow- "no cleaning fee" & upping the nightly rate accordingly CAN be a big driver of bookings in some markets- having your listing/pics done professionally (by someone who specializes in STRs)- a great outdoor area- if you wanna spend $, i'm seeing lots of people adding pickle ball courts & more stuff to do outside like that - having a car there that they can rent on turo for cheaper than the rental cars from the airport

Additionally, if you have concerns that he may damage the property if he gets upset, that isn't a good reason to allow them to stay; it's a bigger driver to not renew the lease and get a better tenant in. 

Sorry, still learning the verbiage 😁I would never deliver wholesale line item level details to just any "customer". 

When you start opening up old houses you'll find problems that need to be addressed if you want to deliver a high-quality product to the end user.

I work a full-time job, a side gig as a food delivery driver, moderate for BiggerPockets, gym, family, friends, & etc, but I still self-manage my properties usually from my cell phone, lol!
