That data sheet is fake news. Airdna had the same month at -8% which is probably still much higher than 2021. I’m up yoy. If you’re looking to stick a shovel in the ground and pull out diamonds you won’t find that anywhere. 

I would recommend going to the area and getting a feel for it. 

If you’re not interested in East Tennessee there are thousands of other places to buy real estate :)

The hardest part of real estate is coming up with the cash to buy more real estate. Your other option is partners.

Short term shop all the way. Although I don’t think you can ask for agents here not sure. Check the agent finder on the top of the page.

All lenders are going to want to see solid history. Keep in mind second homes aren’t for renting. Keep on the track and you’ll get where you’re trying to go!

Quote from @Avery Carl:

Thank you for reading it! The truth is, there is no road map. Your journey is going to look different from mine or anyone else’s. There are still sub-$300k markets out there. But at the end of the day, you have to keep using the same strategies you used to save for the first one once you have the first one. Keep the second jobs or the extra hours at your current job. @luke Carl sold his hot rod, I sold a bunch of guitars and a rare Marshall silver jubilee 25/50 amp (just like slash played on appetite for destruction while we’re talking about GnR. We Penny pinched ourselves to death. And add all that to the income from the first one and just keep grinding til there’s enough money for a second. 

I wish the advice was more glamorous or slick like a lot of the gurus will tell you. But there’s your road map! Happy to chat if you ever want to!

Yes back when we started buying Avery was in grad school at night and we both had jobs. I drove Uber with her car at night while she was at school because I didn’t have a car I only had a motorcycle. I also ran 7 full marathons in one year because she was putting in 18 hour days and I could only drive Uber for so many hours after work and needed something else too do. Uber was brand new at the time. I preferred Lyft. Their clients were cooler. 

As you can tell we worked our tails off. 

Lots of memories!
