You can see this in the graph below:The graph also shows that DOM is worst in 2024 than any of the previous 6 years:(So, you are not alone in experiencing this.Now, just don't take this as a pass to not try harder to find your own solution for this problem:)Thanks for the data.

There are a lot of good meetups for real estate investors in the area that would be good to grow your network and learn from others that are and have been in your shoes as a new investor, message me and I can share on some specific monthly meetups.Also sharing some multifamily data, this is Boston proper so it has an interesting trend compared to the rest of Massachusetts.

Some might not be livable at purchase but 5k still seems cheap unless there is something off with the data. maybe the prices were reduced on unlivable properties due to back taxes being part of the deal for the purchase.

For the rest, I scraped together savings and maybe skipped a few Starbucks runs (okay, a lot).

My data shows around 300 new STR listings on Airbnb since 2022.

The replacement cost (cost to rebuild, not the value of the property) data providers are pegging the quadplex at close to $2M and most 1-4 unit rental property insurance programs tap out at $1-1.5M before you'd end up in a commercial insurance product.

You should estimate th property value using recent sales data.

those are much more compelling than running a bunch of data and picking a random low cost market that you don't know anything about and don't have a network in.hope this helps

I think this is something many investors miss - which is many offerings now all have the data publicly available.

To further boost occupancy and revenue, consider revisiting a dynamic pricing tool like PriceLabs, as it works best with more time and data to adjust rates competitively.
