Too many people try something for a short time and are looking for the magic bullet strategy but the true winners in real estate are those that do one thing a bunch of times over a long time periodHope that helps!

Winter always sees fewer people moving, but a lot of people were transitioning for the last 4-5 years.

Sadly, many people treat them like a commodity.

There isn't really a lot of people looking to rent a 3500sqft house and that may translate in longer vacancies.

People like to rent from a person not a 'brand', it's more personal.

There are some really scummy solar sales people out there that tell homeowners they can get solar “for free”.

People?

But I also haven’t the time to wait because people are people.

If the applicant comes from the pool of people that I or my tenants know, I use real estate as a way to give back as many of my tenants will not qualify credit wise or may even have a criminal background or would struggle for another reason if I were to just stick to the "background/credit check" criteria. 

No system is perfect, so don't waste time chasing after the next shiny object.
