Quote from @Simon Horowitz: I'd love to connect on here with trustworthy contractors that I can bounce ideas off. 

I'm excited to be here and can't wait to bounce ideas off some like-minded individuals!

Great community to bounce ideas off of as I build my knowledge base.  

I’ve been bouncing back and forth between markets like Chattanooga with higher appreciation, and markets like Birmingham with more cash flow.

The rental market is already showing signs of recovery:Spring Is Coming: Historically, the rental market picks up momentum in the spring as tenants prepare to move during warmer months or ahead of the school year.Early 2025 Trends Are Positive: In just the first week of January, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in rental applications, suggesting pent-up demand from renters who delayed their searches in November and December.What Landlords Can Do NowTo make the most of this recovery, consider:Refreshing Your Listings: Update your photos, descriptions, and pricing to ensure your properties stand out.Offering Incentives: Temporary discounts or move-in bonuses can help fill vacancies quickly.Being Patient: The market is already bouncing back, so don’t panic if your property takes a bit longer to lease than usual.What’s been your experience?

If that leads to a more structured and education based meeting, then that is great - if it remains just a place to gather and bounce ideas and network, that's great too.

I'll be bouncing back and forth between the two cities over the next four months before I move in order to get life set up and trying to learn the city... and hopefully find my next project. 

I would love to bounce some ideas and get smarter about the market and investments.

Keep your momentum going, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you want to bounce ideas or discuss a deal.

I'm a fellow real estate investor and I own properties throughout New Hampshire and Maine Southern Coast, I'd love to connect and bounce ideas off each other.
