Any changes in federal spending could influence the job market and, subsequently, the real estate market.4.

Beyond that, real estate is largely local; in my market we are not seeing anywhere near those numbers.

You picked a great community to join.. have you checked out local comps to gauge the market vibe yet?

I worked with a travel nurse who does shift work and 5 lenders said that they couldn’t finance her primary residence purchase and I ended up making it happen for her. 

And while short-term rentals are the big draw here, there’s also growing demand for mid-term rentals from snowbirds and traveling professionals, as well as long-term housing for the increasing number of permanent residents.Yes, higher interest rates are a factor, but the strong rental demand in the Panhandle often helps offset those costs.

You could put most of your funds in the stock market and access them when needed for a HML.

Good market or not so much thx 

I’d recommend a local market if at all possible.

(i.e. initial decorating and painting, bookings, rate structures, marketing, bookkeeping housekeeping, etc)? 

Most of the ones I bought had existing tenants and almost all were paying below market rents and way below market rents.
