I am debating the move and would like to know the downsides I might be overlooking.

Top Housing Markets for 2025: Cities Where Home Sales Are Set To SoarI operate and invest in Pueblo West and Canon City currently, and it has for sure been a softer market for sales.

@Sunny Wu of course the tenants don't want to pay!

You'd hope they won't be that stupid and kill the goose that laid the golden eggs or they'll ultimately pay the price at the ballot box, like the previous Portuguese government.As is often the case, that kind of article sadly doesn't provide the necessary context to the uninformed reader - and I'm not talking about you, of course :). 

In particular, I'd love to invest in a property and making it a vacation rental.Also, I work in the STR industry so happy to connect and exchange ideas on the topic!

I am not used to the BPockets UI.... 

As we kick off 2025, the real estate market is continuing to evolve, presenting both opportunities and challenges for investors.

Nicholas,The one piece of advice I would give is refinance the Condo before you start renting it out. 

At the end of the day, both of these respective vendors/individuals are paid when the deal closes. 

I am sure some will do it with phone and e mail etc.. but I suspect they miss the best deals.Just like top wholesalers they have buying agents when a lead comes in that buying agent is over to the house and meeting with the folks ASAP so they can lock it up.. if they are non owner occ then yes this is different but now your talking about investors as sellers different mind set .
