Rates have been trending down in the area since the covid boost finally started to level off, while home prices have not. 

You can offer discounts for weeklong and boost occupancy, or keep rates high and have mid-weeks empty.A couple of other quick observations - thanks to fracking, we have abundant natural gas in Penna. and may homes have supplemental propane. 

It's a logical fallacy to suggest that the CPA must also invest in real estate because that will give them a boost in knowledge related to real estate tax law somehow.For example, how many owners of restaurants are "looking for a CPA that also owns a restaurant." 

As an investor myself building a property management company build for investors like you, I approach the business with a win together mentality and look forward to supporting your success.

As you're already used to "dry" periods, you should be well poised for flips financially and mentally!

And finally with this strategy you need to create a win-win-win mentality.  

Hi NIckit makes so much sense, dollar wise and mentally, to get in the game while you are young, and can devote time and energy into real estate.  

Make sure the tenants understand the terms and are willing to abide by them and have the means to do so (mentally, physically and financially).2.

I have adopted that mentality and I pay my fees and don't look back (about $1,000 per year with KW).  

That in mind, I am now looking to invest out of state as well (unless a super deal comes up) mainly because of the strange things our government keeps doing with laws, budgets, etc....There has been a slow but steady population decline in Anchorage and a rapid growth in drug users, mental health issues, and thefts etc... resulting from that.
