I declined to rent to them.

@Mike Lambert Yes, the growth is currently outpacing demand, at least temporarily, as evidenced by the decline in occupancy in Tulum in 2022.

If bookings start declining for many, we may see power in numbers- could be that some start to rally the troops to get attention of new VRBO COO, Bentley, who replaced Hurst.

If they decline to share, that is a red flag which would warrant walking away or at a minimum substantially reducing the price instead and basing the offer on your own numbers validated by third parties.

Seller then 1 declined which we moved on, 2. take it or 3. negoiate until we find a happy number.

I then declined due to income and credit; which is still an area where we can decline.

When I first considered buying in the US I considered North Chicago as I know and like it but I'm aware of the high property taxes and question the longevity of the market there with a declining population and all that.I live overseas currently so any purchase will be remote for me and I will get it managed, I may never even see the place so I'm quite open to where I could buy.I wanted some thoughts on the best places to invest?

I'm thankful I didn't keep building.I don't look for fed rates to decline till '25 or maybe December.

In 1979 home price declines because simply there were much fewer sales.

Reason #3 is that he rise in interest rates has led to a decline in home prices across various markets in the United States.
