I'm always surprised when one seems to dry up, while another one suddenly starts producing leads.

IF it's not your age, it your hair, style of shirt, skin color, gender, facial hair, choice of car, tone of voice, ect... you cant appease everyone nor should you try.

Based on my experiences with the 1bed/1bath's that I currently own and the difficulty that I have getting them rented and keeping them rented I would pull my hair out trying to find 25 to 50 of these typically transient tenants. 

Many homeowners and landlords alike have converted their traditional lawns to xeriscape (xeros = dry, -scape => landscape) in recent years, both for environmental and cost savings reasons.  

The tenants that you actually want will present a little bit more elusive, because they know their own worth as tenants.Getting another $50 out of your rental is not that important compared to finding a good tenant, who does not cost you thousands and some grey hair.

It just also accidentally happened that the moving company had a nerve to charge extra $500 to move the furniture in addition to the price they provided in the quote, the plumber charged $750 to replace the toilet (who did an excellent job and the price was mutually agreed by both parties), the roof has to be replaced and the dry walls have to be repaired, the A/C unit has to be replaced as it stopped working, the sprinklers have to be repaired very soon, and I just think the financial landscape changed dramatically since before covid time.

@Neil Smith recommend a LOT of investigation of the arbitrage company, as many are one-man-bands that leave owners high & dry when things don't work out for them.

But inventory is drying up again..

Pest inspections tell a lot, that's where you'll find out about dry rot, pests, foundations, subflooring that is failing, etc.

HELLO, I used to flip about 20 per month in the Cleveland markets, however over the last 1 ,2 years inventory has dried up.
