Florida panhandle can be the same way, super slow in January and February but explodes when spring rolls around (not saying it has the same returns, but similar in seasonality). 

I only go to those places with multiple 5* reviews and super host status.

Just got a new designated business mobile the other day through Verizon and I am super excited to get started!

Super unfortunate but it is really competitive in San Diego right now.

The point I’m trying to make is - yes I agree with you that it’s super annoying and frustrating.

Post COVID-19 the market has gone super hot.

I'm super happy for those that are. 

@Charles Schmidt I have a couple friends who house hack its a good option to get things going but requires a'lot of management and being hands on so IMO its not a super scalable strategy.

Super attractive when you look at it online b/c of the price point and location but if a deal is ever 'too good' to be true, theres a reason!

I love Ohio city and Tremont as they as super close to downtown without all the traffic (not so much with covid though)I currently am house hacking a duplex in Old Brooklyn as you mentioned in your post.
