The replacements often lack the experience.If you're looking for tax preparation only, without tax advice, then the worst times to look for a CPA are March-April and August-October.

But 3 years ago try to raise money and give returns on paying 100% cash, investors would not do it because the IRR s were not competitive to the max debt operators but we see the outcome..

The downside is that everyone does it and unless you have something quite unique, you will deal with lots of competition and seasonality.

Unfortunately most lack the balance sheet to obtain favorable financing, can't afford to put any skin in the game and fail to make a compelling reason for why the investment makes sense or to justify the structure they are seeking.

Setting higher rates than the comps can definitely help attract guests who value quality, but it’s important to stay competitive within your market.

@Ryan Cousins It is a very competitive market especially in those neighborhoods. 

So, scope out the competition on #1 & #2 above to understand what the rental or sale market expects.- You will lose money if you go overboard!

However, be prepared for limited inventory, higher competition, and possible compromises.

The competition is fierce but I think you can still find great deals.

It's usually better to earn $200 less a month for one year than to sit vacant for two months, particularly in the winter.Consider a bigger drop for a 6-month lease to get through winter, then increase rent or find a new renter in the spring when competition is hotter.
