Homebuyers and renters can comfortably move all year.

👏 Agree, this is the kind of data that can help you stay ahead of the curve.

@Kasondra Milton- hi there ...thanks ...Raised in the fairport area ...live on west coast now ..last summer I had to return to Roch area to help with a family illness  situation ...I stayed in a AIRBNB that was close to Strong hospital for 3 weeks ...in my search for places - I must say I was surprised at the lack of options ( at least at that time ) ...that being said - I agree with your comment about the fact that Greater  Roch  likely  wont  attract a large amount of renters consitently  ( outskirts  like  finger lakes are a diff story ) - thanks and good luck

Do some demos and make sure you feel very comfortable with the one you ultimately select.If you're unsatisfied, it's a huge hassle to have to transition later when you have multiple properties under management.

Here are my thoughts:Hostaway: Stay away. 

@Savannah Holzer Well, if I stay with SFR as my strategy, then yes, at least at first, while I figure out the self-mangage/landlord gig.

The more comfortable you need to live, the worse the numbers will be. 

And, I think that is a better lesson than simply staying out of it.

Whether it’s in real estate, life, or the service, the ability to adapt, overcome, and stay focused on the mission is what gets you through.

But feel free to share more if you’re comfortable—happy to give some more insight.
