Slow stable controlled growth of a portfolio lowers the risk as a broken furnace is spread across a greater cash flow base.  

Everything going forward is slow.

Summer bookings and inquiries are ridiculously slow, noticeably less inquiries. 

There may also be a requirement to give 30, 60, or 90 day notice before the relationship can be canceled.So your friend may want to consider canceling right before or during a slow period so that they don't have too many existing bookings "owned" by the agent.

Thank you for reaching out, I am working to dive deep into the real estate investor waters.

If you want the most accurate and deep data, you'll have to pay for it.

Information is power and there is a lot available for anyone willing to look deep enough.In December 2023, Scranton home prices were up 16.7% compared to last year, selling for a median price of $175K.

You figure out what it TAKES to become succesful and then use what you have to get what it takes, to become succesful.If it requires 40 hours a day, $3000/week on marketing, decent clothing, proper english, a decent car and knowledge about the niche... well figure out a way to slow down time to fit 40 hours in a day because that is what it takes!

In me experience real estate is get rich slow. 

This inventory eventually is slowing appreciation.
