Seasonal Slowdown (With a Twist)The holidays always lead to a slower rental market as potential tenants prioritize family, travel, and gift-giving over finding a new home.

Seacoast NH, for example, has some great potential with short-term rental markets (Airbnb, VRBO), especially in towns like Portsmouth or Hampton, but the regulations can be a bit tricky.

But since you will be able to finance with LTVs, potentially higher leverage may be used and can scale the portfolio faster with the right strategy.

The deals are really so sparse that you can sit and wait and wait and wait for the right deal in a specific neighborhood or you can look at all potential deals across the Metroplex and beyond.
