Listing inventory looks to have a trend that is counter to most other markets in Massachusetts; usually inventory increases in the Summer and lessens in the Winter!

I've added many wholesalers to my drip line and send their deals out to investors, I can add you to the list if you want to start looking at off market deals.

Hey @Jacob Munson, so you listed the basics just to get the house.You have plan to outfit the place like @Alex F. said.

I appreciate all the info and feedback, house hacking was what I was thinking initially for at least my first deal.

Make more money or spend less.More income: Meet more people, get more listings, hire more people for your team, work harder!!

Go look at similar listings (size, amenities) on Airbnb or VRBO or wherever you're listed and see what the cleaning fee is for a 2 night stay.Some day you may wish to hire a cleaner, and it will be a rude awakening if you were artificially inflating your occupancy with no cleaning fee and all of a sudden have to add a cleaning fee.On the other hand, while you're still starting out, getting a lot of bookings and reviews right now is the most important time to do it.

Despite initial maintenance challenges, the property is performing with a bright future.

Springfield seems to keep popping up on booming market lists so I figured it was time I hop on here and try to connect with more folks.

As far as next steps, get the place ready to rent, take, or have a pro take, lots of great pictures, create a solid lease, and list it on Zillow for free.

@Quincy Lockett Also at the tip of the list.
