.- You close on December 10th- The property is in great shape and does not need any significant repairs- It only needs some paint touch-up and changing a couple of broken fixtures, which you do yourself- You spend the next week buying furniture, electronics and supplies and installing/arranging everything yourself- You also roll up your sleeves and scrub the toilets and sinks and appliances- You put it on AirBnB/VRBO and have your first guest renting it for the 3 days of Christmas- You second guest rents it for the following weekend and leaves before NYE- You personally clean and restock the place between these two guestsCongrats!

The news cycle notes that the limited availability of affordable homes is primarily due to a significant gap between the demand for housing and the supply. 

Gold is a useless metal and the price is completely disengaged from the supply.

A good tip is to reach out to contractors, visit local supply stores, and check out online resources for cost ranges.

Overall though to answer your question, there is some supply glut in the RRG area so those older properties with less amenities are struggling some.

This are the best few hundreds of EURs you will invest and can save you thousands.On my case, i'm currently in the process of investing in 2 properties in Sagres for tourism, as the zone belongs to a natural reserve and supply is very limited (i also hired the 2 ppl i mentioned above).

I see you have 27 contacts and 14 applications from zillow.Real Estate is about location/location/location, supply and demand.I have never offered $500 dollars off for the first month. 

But the garage is not included since I need it for storage of my tools and supplies. 

As we first hand see the demand for student housing with a low supply of affordable options in the area.

The market supply has had a surplus meaning they are sitting longer and "stockpiling", nothing crazy but it is noticeable in the chart.
