@Gash Nookala,Renting can indeed be slower in winter, but here are some tips to boost interest:Enhance Listing: Ensure your listing has detailed descriptions and high-quality photos—consider professional photography if needed.Competitive Pricing: Double-check local comps; even a slight price adjustment or incentives (like a reduced deposit) could attract more interest.Broaden Marketing: Beyond Zillow, Hemlane, and MLS, use social media, community boards, and local business connections to reach a wider audience.Flexible Lease Terms: Offering shorter or month-to-month leases might appeal to tenants during this slower season.Local Property Manager: A local pro can tap into their network and help fill the vacancy faster.These steps should help you find a tenant despite the seasonal slowdown.

Building a network here can open doors to partnerships, mentorships, and local insights.3.Explore the Blogs and Podcasts: BiggerPockets has tons of content—blogs, podcasts, webinars—that cover everything from beginner strategies to advanced investment tactics.4.Utilize the Deal Analysis Tools: If you’re considering an investment, the deal analysis calculators are invaluable for running numbers and understanding potential returns.5.Set Clear Goals: Define what you want to achieve, whether it’s learning a specific strategy or connecting with certain types of investors.

I flip here, locally, currently and out of state.

Quote from @Jason Bohling: @David M. unless it is with a portfolio lender which most credit unions and many local banks are.

And here in Chicago I always check my favorite local homicide tracker whose name violates usage restrictions.Is there other favorite metrics out there that I am missing? 

I thought that since I did a local renovation that I'd be ready to do a BRRRR or flip in Indianapolis... nope.

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

I did try contacting the local  section 8 office but didnt connect to anyone yet who could help me.
