It’s a tough decision, but we’re adjusting our strategy to align with market conditions and our timeline.Having come from a corporate background, I’m used to doing these kinds of planning exercises.

Is this market dynamic and climate now still beneficial for long term buy and hold investing? 

Now I just keep making assorted free accounts and adjust this messaging with little tweaks here n there, to "Information/Idea Mine" from all these people. 

For my area, looking to stay under $180k but could adjust slightly.

Screen by what you're looking for; housing scarcity, tax implications, barrier of entry, coastal, climate risk off or on, etc.

Once you've identified what's important and what ratios to look for to evaluate a property, all future deals should be weighted against those "good" ratios/numbers - and periodically adjust to suit your goals.

Here’s how it works:Population Decline or Stagnation: If the population is static or shrinking, the current housing supply meets demand, and property prices decline (in inflation-adjusted dollars).

It applies to STR in the same way.Is anyone here adjusting their investment strategy because of this?

Buying a MLS listing is probably a no go ,if you find a private sell or a similar way that would be the best way to purchase a property in todays climate.
