You need to start fresh with your thinking.

We listed the top 2 (3x1) units for $1800 a piece and the garden unit (2x1) for $1600.

Whether it is a single family home or a 4 plex, it is still one sewer line, one roof, one gardener bill, one tree trimming, etc. that cost the same no matter what.Best of luck!

I came across a 2-flat with a basement that has been converted into garden unit with 3 bedrooms and kitchen and bath.

It would be like if someone prepared to sell by painting to create fresh visual interest, but chose fuscia and lime green...those colors would certainly catch the eye but I'd never claim that they overdid the curb appeal by painting with too much visual interest.

I’ve even seen a friend in Austin organize a simple field trip to another city..from what I’ve heard that kind of trip can spark interest in fresh markets.

Normally you add sugar and condensed milk, but these were great fresh. 

Even in the off-season - you can optimize visibility by setting competitive pricing, using high-quality photos, and enabling Instant Book with flexible policies.For older listings, try adjusting prices with dynamic tools, highlighting upgrades, and regularly updating your title, photos, or descriptions to stay fresh in search results.These tweaks can make a big difference!

Some folks want a seat at the table and real control, while others prefer to be passive.. letting the sponsor do the heavy lifting.From what I read in The Economist, some markets (like Phoenix) are experiencing fresh pockets of growth in multifamily, so it’s definitely worth exploring if you’re eyeing future expansion.

If there’s a delay, it might make more sense to cancel or refund those bookings and use the time to get everything ready for a fresh start.Since it’s Joshua Tree and the peak season is winding down, it’s worth deciding if you want to jump in now or take some time to set things up for a solid relaunch.Good luck, and let me know if you need any more advice!
