The local economy is anchored by institutions such as the University of New Mexico (UNM), Sandia National Laboratories, and Kirtland Air Force Base.

Almost nobody in the Upper Peninsula has air conditioning though so maybe can save money on just doing a new furnace and not a full HVAC, we'll see.  

No window air conditioners or freezers are ever included in the lease. 

And also being next to a base Im thinking about short term renting, or Air BNB How did you finance this deal?

If she is willing to pay a pet fee each month and is a decent tenant otherwise why give notice in the spring? 

Smaller markets like Ocala, Spring Hill, and Palmetto can be great for affordable buy-and-hold strategies, while Gainesville offers unique student rental potential.

The rental market is already showing signs of recovery:Spring Is Coming: Historically, the rental market picks up momentum in the spring as tenants prepare to move during warmer months or ahead of the school year.Early 2025 Trends Are Positive: In just the first week of January, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in rental applications, suggesting pent-up demand from renters who delayed their searches in November and December.What Landlords Can Do NowTo make the most of this recovery, consider:Refreshing Your Listings: Update your photos, descriptions, and pricing to ensure your properties stand out.Offering Incentives: Temporary discounts or move-in bonuses can help fill vacancies quickly.Being Patient: The market is already bouncing back, so don’t panic if your property takes a bit longer to lease than usual.What’s been your experience?

This deal came along and I have an opportunity to cash flow $3k a month When converted to a fourplex and it has a non attached garage that I could turn into an ADU which would add to the cash flow.im just hoping to get out of the hard money loan and lower my payments and rate if possible so my rents can cover mortgage.I have an air bnb rental that I have a very nice chunk of equity in but won’t be able to sell it til spring.

Sounds like you are juggling a lot of balls in the air!

I am going to be moving in the spring and will begin renting out my current place of residence at that time.
