How'd you pick that market?

Nothing like cherry picking dates. 

And you are picking a location that totally disables the #1 reason why you should buy real estate.If your first deal goes bad, there will never be a second one.

@Sean MacDonaldI think you summed it up in your observation of your clients, it's very typical here in the valley that the number of transactions will decline right before an election and then those buyers just like your clients will get back in and the number of transactions will pick back up in the months following the election.

If you pick up a few properties now, it will be MUCH easier to buy more sooner than later down the road.

So far, the lots I have picked are much higher priced than what would be acceptable in the program - still hunting!

The home has been doing okay Occupancy wise it is following the same occupancy as the average occupancy in the area so around 60-77%  but it is a new unit, this march it has increased to an 81% occupancy and April and May its picking up in occupancy fast so its a perfect time that I started this airbnb. 

Pick a good contractor and then manage them well! 

I just picked a Luxe collection medium queen and it is $1899.

The very next day we tried to pick up a squabble about "who do you think my people are" and "why do they need criminal check etc".
