This is a long term investment for me, so I am not concerned with short term, potential market fluctuations as all RE goes up over time.

Which was a cool deal we made great interest and the arbitrage on the currency fluctuation at the time.

Austin (77 days) and San Antonio (68 days) showed minor fluctuations from the previous month.Although housing supplies remained high, active listings fell for the first time since May, reaching 103,395 listings.

Real estate investments can be less correlated to market fluctuations than stocks or index funds, which can help reduce overall portfolio risk.Now if you really want to make Gainz you should get into $PEPE.

As real estate investors we carefully surf the micro-fluctuations over several years and use leverage to amplify them. 

Yeah with the fluctuating occupancy rates, I'm finding it harder to run numbers than on a long-term rental with a consistent monthly rent.

I believe there can be a significant fluctuation based on how a property is managed as well.Regardless, I always say to folks to use the numbers directionally, whether ours or any of the services, and to try to get on the ground comps as much as possible from sellers / agents, etc.

I am currently looking for a more stable job than personal training, (hours fluctuate weekly) but I don't want to keep paying rent to a landlord.

It depends but I align to Chris and add that I think there will be a new normal and fluctuate between 5% - 8% and can look at dips to better your rate. 

Sometimes you see the same unit marketed in all of these locations and it's interesting to see how the price sometimes fluctuates.
