Hey Josh - Updating photos occasionally can help, especially if you’ve added new features or want to highlight seasonal touches.

And IMHO, the prices are dropping big time (on avg. 10K/month...houses that were above 300K a year ago are not selling at 250K now) and the available rentals saturation is worse than I seen during summer season (with rents dropping from 1$-1.08/sqft to 0.8$/sqft and very little contacts and applications...just go in Zillow and look how many rentals are on the market now in Kyle, New Braunfels or Converse). 

A couple of our cash flowing properties do not yet count towards income because they are not fully seasoned.

From my experience, this is a very seasonal market.

It's good to see it through each season then you;ll have a better idea of what to expect. 

This seasonal slowdown is typically predictable and manageable.But at the end of 2024, we saw that increase jump to over 10 days, pushing average DOM from 25-30 to over 40.

Everything is functional in the property it is a older home.

I despise units that are older where sound travels easily or also units that have either more units above and below.

I mean by safest is on the volatility, for example STRs have many different factors, seasons of the year, local government regs and much more.

Hi Allende, I agree with the others—everyone aged 18 or older should submit an application, go through the screening process, and sign the lease.
