You do get a lot of appreciation in CA which is attractive but you have to be able to withstand the CA roller coaster.

@V.G Jason I don't totally agree or disagree with you but when one does business it is like a roller coaster.

Well, this has been sort of an emotional roller coaster given we need to sell the place within a time limit given our financial and health situation (plus wanting to put an offer on the home we want before it sells).

It sounds like an emotional roller coaster.

I would say that you are correct about Prescott having a shortage or rentals, but it also a snowbird and retiree neighborhood for Canadians, Californians, and east coasters.

I bought my first home in 2021, which was quite the roller coaster, and in 2022, I closed on a small piece of vacant land all by myself, despite some fears.

My credit score does have a roller coaster look but I only worry about it when I am looking to really finance something for my personal life. 

I had a guest's kid break a bunch of ceramic coasters.

So alot of people are screaming the sky is falling on STRs, but really it is welcome back to the seasonal pricing and occupancy roller coaster ride of STRs that have been around for decades.
