I strongly recommend that you set clear financial goals and maintain a continuous learning mindset.

I believe Hawaii will continue regulating STR and it will be harder to make the numbers work. 

Your goals don’t need to be overly complicated.

What I would tell you is that as we built our portfolio we continued working our full time corporate (cubicle) jobs until we had 20 units (self-managing them along the way).

Manage less, turn over to professional management5.

my property appreciation varies from a low of $2700/month to over $10k/month.   

WordPress, especially when paired with plugins like WP Rentals or a property management system, offers more flexibility for custom features like dynamic calendars, booking systems, and integrations with platforms like Airbnb.If you're planning to grow beyond a few properties, WordPress can handle that expansion better since you can continuously customize it as your business needs change.

We should see a continued rise in inventories going into next year, which is normal for this time of year.

I will continue to work on the things you mentioned 

As we wrap up the year and look ahead to 2025, the real estate market continues to present unique challenges and opportunities for investors, brokers, and lenders alike.
