We definitely see a slow-down in activity, usually starting in October.

Our occupancy rates are up in slow season and we were only 42% Airbnb last month.This is just my humble opinion based on experience mainly in Tampa, but I hope it helps you in some way. 

@Michael Rossi to answer your question of would it make sense to purchase another property in the next 6 months - most of us try to buy properties at a deep discount. 

There are indications of slowing, but I think it's more likely a normalization and not a downturn.

I assume you mean GC--in which case, it's worth reading up on the topic of how find, screen, and manage GCs (this topic has been covered on BP, and there are probably many online articles, youtube videos, etc. on the topic...there are probably also books on the topic)....maybe getting more specific on what you're looking for could be useful...Regardless, 25 flips in 1 year would obviously require a lot of experience, a lot of liquid capital, very well-refined systems, and an A+++ team of boots on the ground...plus, extremely conservative underwriting and a very high risk tolerance, given the current market dynamics....on the bright side, as the economy slows, labor may become cheaper and more readily available (in fact, I'm already hearing anecdotes that tradespeople are already becoming more available).Good luck out there!

What about a one time deep clean?

You believe that even by holding 1-2 years there is a good possibility that value will increase and you can offload it as a slow flip of sorts, and make a good return off appreciation not just CF On the other hand here are reasons not to do it: 1.

Hey Tommy,If you're a beginning investor, without a strong cash position, the whole life policy is just going to slow you down for your first few years.

It's slow growth but the properties cash-flow and the journey goes on.
