It's still a good market for long term rentals but the returns are not what they were 10 years ago - but if you can get past overly optimistic suggested ROI, it's a really solid market.

However if I do a BRRRR I can achieve infinite return by extracting all of my investment.

Then, the lease will be up in the summer when the demand is higher to get better returns 

I will not expect it to match my usual return.

Like others have said if you are coming from LTRs you may get a bit worried at how late folks are looking for housing compared to months out.

As mentioned, it is virtually daily that there are posts that seem unlikely to have any path to a return that warrants holding the RE.i wish everyone be thorough and cautious in their underwriting.  

My point is cash flow is only one source of return on RE and in my opinion the least desired because it gets taxed annually.  

Over the past 6 months, I've seen a "SIGNIFICANT" increase in ROI and REALLY BIG equity gains in the areas I serve and buy, due to the epic buyer's market we are in. I'd like to know where the other really big markets...

The numbers could make sense if you do STR, but it's still tough because the pricing for multis is high and the long-term rental return isn't that great.

I want to get started in real estate but investing but I may not be able to purchase a property until late 2025.
