So, the large national websites I run did get hit on number of leads but not significant because most of the loss comes from 'informational queries' rather than from 'transactional' ones.In my humble opinion, local businesses (including investors) are safe since they have the luxury of utilizing another Google's popular product - Google Maps - which is (at this point of time) quite insulated from AI overviews. 

To be able to successfully utilize ANY real estate investing strategy, one needs to be well versed in real estate principles, real estate law, and real estate finance.  

The units are fully furnished, including bedding and all utilities included. 

Quote from @Steven Lee: Hey Jason,You can not utilize an FHA loan for a rental property unless you have a 2 - 4 Unit where you live in one unit.

.- Actual Vacancy = Up to 1 to 1.5 month (conservative, not including holding costs, i.e. utilities), $2,800-4200 (Get Average Days on Market for Duplexes/leasings from Realtor/agent or even research yourself)- Operating Expenses.

Furnishing, cleaning logistics, and utility costs are a bit different from long-term rentals, but very doable if you plan for it.Sounds like you’re doing all the right prep, Melissa! 

I am not in cash crunch but I wanted to utilize the cash for the units to do upgrade for next 5 years incrementally as tenants move out and increase the rent up by atleast 30%.

-Modern Efficiency: Energy-efficient builds attract quality tenants and reduce ongoing utility costs.

Instead, they will utilize refrigerants with lower global warming potential, primarily R-454B and R-32.

Personally, I start by digging into zoning, access to utilities, and surrounding growth trends before running comps or considering exit strategies.
