Hey Eddie,

IC is a nice market and we have had good luck here.  As you are aware, its a college town. It also has some nice industry and a large teaching hospital.  Overall, our units fill up pretty fast. Happy to answer any specific questions as well.

Best of luck-

AJ

    AJ, yes we are looking to invest in the area since our son is out there for school. Awesome town by the way. Really was looking for what areas to avoid, where to apply for a license, etc. I will send you a connect request if you dont mind. Its good to know investors in the area you are considering.

    Thank you

    We Have run up to 4 Airbnb at one time of our own. Recently our real estate company Pace located in {The ICR } ( Iowa City, Cedar Rapid) opened STR management division to help othere investors that don't want to be involved in the day to day and want to have the investment property more available for personal use in comparison to normal long leases. We also now manage an Airbnb for the county. Football season is great!! otherwise fairly steady through the year.

    Also @Eddie Suarez, you can get into student housing as well. With over 30,000 enrolled students there should be lots of demand.

    Quote from @Eddie Suarez:

    Looking for insight in the iowa city market , would like to get to know a local investor to chat with.

    Thank you


     Hop on Airbnb and VRBO, search the area you like and reach out directly to hosts there. Some will ghost you, but some will be helpful.
