I am a newbie to RE Investing and have a SFH in Slidell, LA that I purchased in 2017.

I'm curious to understand what is your source of market research (other than local RE agents, which of course is the best source to understand the local market).

Not sure if the rental property is in the same location as your location tag but if it is the high desert more or less rides or dies with the overall RE market, you have a lot of owner occupants out there now because they can afford to buy reasonably nice homes out that way but not on the other side of the mountain. 

However, it really depends on what is in your warchest and how much turnover expenses you can absorb in the short-term.

I'm a fairly new RE Investor in Central Florida looking to find my first deal.

There's a set screw on the side of the handle that needs to be backed out and re tightened after install.

I think you should re-list it as well.

Forced appreciation is one of the greatest benefits of RE investing and it's completely gone with an HOA.

I've only invested in RE here in Utah where I live so this is definitely outside my comfort zone.  

While you’re absolutely right that RE is cyclical, I don’t think you’ll see the drops like we did in the bubble days.
