I live in the area and just gave up looking for now. 

If you're not familiar with cash-on-cash I would recommend looking it up, I wish I knew about it when I was younger. 

Hopefully rents start going up 2nd Qtr and into 2026 and 2027.What price range do you want to be in? 

Sounds like a pretty easy way to get in over my head fast, but at the same time, it seems like an opportunity to pick up a property WAY under market value and there theoretically should still be plenty of meat on the bone.

With EPIC theme park opening in a few months, this area is seeing bookings pick up, but it is a very competitive and crowded market.

I am also considering signing up for the program. 

Glad it's working for you I slowed down on RE for about the past year and a half S&P 500 is up 27% YTD, NASDAQ 100 up 32% 

Let me know if this is the correct way of thinking. 

Common fees will include a set-up fee, a leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

I don’t see where a rental would make sense, so I’m trying to look at other options to cover the monthly payments until the market goes back up.
