Hi Beth, I haven’t followed rental activity lately to really comment unfortunately but had read some comments a month or two ago about lighter bookings, but that was also the slower season too.

I send the application to everyone but I don’t require a background check from traveling nurses and other medical professionals if they provide a copy of their contract   I do the same.

(Approximately 13 states have either state Inheritance Tax or state Estate Tax, so that would possibly apply in other states besides PA.)Welfare LiensNursing home liensMechanics LiensMortgages in order of recording date, first mortgages before second or third mortgagesJudgements (once boought a property where there was alien because the owner got in a bar fight and was sucessfully sued for medical bills esulting in a judgemen.)Federal Tax Liens (Special rrules apply to IRS liens)The precedence of pay off is determined by state law, government first, then the rest by date recorded.Then is anything else is left over it goes to the former owner.On one of our purchases there was a big Nursing Home lien that the Tax Claim Bureau was not aware of. 

However, now that we’re heading into fall, we can see that 2024’s summer selling season was slower than 2023, with closed sales in Austin down around 16% compared to last year.

Eisenhower, that has been rapidly expanding, the Savannah River Nuclear Site, the Medical College of GA, 5 hospitals bringing in residents and travel nurses, AND the newly announced Meta AI Data Center coming to Aiken, SC (right across the river). 2251 Central Avenue - 3-Plex.

These are also generally slower times for almost all listings, so don't get discouraged!

Option 2 has a higher monthly payment and higher interest rate, potentially straining finances during slower months or vacancies.

Make sure to break it down by season to account for lower occupancy during the slower summer months and higher rates during peak tourist seasons (Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, etc.).2.

Operators that are open and able to offer combined usages for slower seasons, such as mid term discounted extended stay rates in the winter, can improve lower estimated production in the off-seasons. 

So much better than others that the US was exporting ventilators, masks, medical supplies to rest of world.
