However, 2024’s holiday season was impacted by other compounding factors, making the usual seasonal dip more pronounced.2.

@Daniel GrantzRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Do some scenarios to see the impact on your cashflow. 

.- Taxes: While the 10% penalty is waived, the withdrawn amount will still be subject to regular income taxes.This can be a useful way to access funds for a home purchase, but keep in mind the tax implications and the potential impact on your retirement savings.

This directly impacts returns for everyone.

These are just some of the additional items that will have a significant impact on carrier's rates, your premiums, and whether we start to see the insurance market soften anytime soon or not.

@Wesley Sherow would love to learn about your PM-co as I’m looking to buy-and-hold in Capital Region.I’d be curious to hear y’all thoughts on the Amazon/Regeneron hiring impact.

Now do i think human activities can have impact on this, 100%.

You’ve got the leadership, the know-how, and the heart to really make an impact.
