I adjust pricing based on demand, like raising rates during peak season or local events, and lowering them in slower months to stay competitive.

If Inflation goes up to say 8 to 10% at the end of 2025 and stays up for an extended period due to Feds printing cash, you will lose cash value if your rent escalators don't follow it.

., staying in rentals.

Stay away from these guys.

Those that stayed in the race, whether running or walking, will feel the shift immediately and will be miles ahead of those that chose to sit it out. 

Stay consistent, set clear goals, and remember real estate is a long-term game that rewards patience and persistence!

In order for you to make a good decision to stay in real estate and do a 1031 if selling that AZ property is warranted.And at the end of the day there is the crystal ball factor :)
