It could make sense to move to a more affordable market if the barriers of entry are to high in Brookyln or if the deals there don’t work well…I know NY tends to be more tenant friendly so that is something to consider also.

Too long and it tends to slip under the flapper, causing the problem you observed.  

Though this seems trivial, nicer neighborhoods tend to decorate more.

I was curious how you go about estimating repair costs.I have gotten pretty good at analyzing deals themselves and figuring out what purchase price/LTV will help optimize returns... but in such videos as Brandon Turners ( attached below video)..I tend to struggle to figure out where you exactly get the figures for a rough repair estimate without a contractor inspecting the property. 

I've had MANY posting up and generally the "younger" crowd tends to flake more than the seasoned veteran.

I know that Big Bear tends to be more popular, and there is more to do there, but it also seems like a very saturated market with vacation rentals, so competition would be very high there.

My average days on market tends to tick upward the closer we get to the holidays.

Plus vampires tend to have large amounts of wealth eventually, so they can accommodate rent increases!

@Zihan HuangI am a real estate agent and investor in the Houston market.Katy, Cypress, Spring, some parts of Houston, Conroe, Tomball, Pearland are great markets.Rent growth and appreciation is steady.These cities tend to command quality tenants, and they have great schools.If you're intent on buying out-of-state, be sure to heed these additional warnings.

During the busy season, mentioned by @Daniel Murphy above, it tends to be a bit lower than actual market pricing.
