If listing after June, be prepared to either be competitive on price or be willing to wait a long time for an acceptable offer.

I credit these forums to helping me navigate my time thus far as an investor. we have some extremely active heavy hitters around us in the DMV area who are not afraid to share their knowledge. 

I am confident that the mountain-modern style I seek to design to will stand out from the competition in a positive way. 

Yea, too high of margins indicate to me its ripe for competition.

I really want to diversify my portfolio especially with this volatile stock market which I have been too heavy in.Im reaching out in this forum hoping to get some different ideas/opinions than what my financial advisor is giving me.

From those calls, you will have learned what your competition is related to lot rent, the sale of homes, how many POH they have, and what incentives you may have to offer as you sell homes.

Interest rates being lower will make it easier to borrow money and it will also increase competition in the real estate market place as people seek yield.

I have some water intrusion during heavy rain at the entrance of my English basement turned Airbnb in SE.

That will be up in the next 3-4 years and several apartment buildings have plans to redevelop and modernize their units to keep up with the competition.

Fed rate drop was to combat the stock market fallout from coronavirus, and because of heavy pressure from the president... who is in an election year, who's strong economy will help him get re-elected. there is a lot of incentive right now for rates to stay low. just my personal opinion :) we'll see. interesting times, though.
