Do you have the capital to weather the super slow seasons if you have them?

I am able to withdraw without penalty.  

So far so good, taking a slow approach but still taking action.

Or slow down , wait and watch what happens with the SFR .i feel I'm hurrying but also don't wanna loose the opportunities that are close to my primary home.

Id like to make clear that my niche market is heavy on cash flow given how very low the rental inventory is, and appreciation is slow due to the rural nature of the area.

This means that appreciation there is really really slow.

Quote from @Oj Brown: Airdna I hear ya - i just feel like their data is somewhat limited and to be used as a rough estimate, along with airbnb calculator (not to mention that site is god awful slow)

What I've done in the past is asked to see the withdraws from his bank account that showed he paid rent on time.

Appreciation is just the cherry on top.The last few years Toledo somewhat caught up with appreciation but I believe we are capped now.It's a slow moving market and always behind the rest of the country.There is just not enough demand/infrastructure growth like in other markets to support continued appreciation.Historical data shows the Toledo market appreciating at the pace of inflation which is nothing to brag about hehe.IMO, it's a cashflow play and you should consider building a larger portfolio because it will be safer.Owning 1-2 properties can be a "hit and a miss" and really not the providers or PM's fault.There is a high likelihood of turnover so it's important to build a larger portfolio.If you experience "drama" on 1 or 2 properties, the other 4-5 are performing and can subsidize any losses incurred on the few that temporarily aren't performing.Wishing you much success

Our PF cabin seems slow, but the numbers aren't really that far off from last year.I heard Dollwood has record numbers year after year.
