Why Rental Demand Surges in Spring & Summer: What Riverside County Landlords Should Expect in 2026If you’ve been in real estate long enough, you know there’s a rhythm to the rental market — and spring and summer are when everything speeds up.

Hello everyone, I'm in the military and will be moving from Colorado Springs to Michigan around May.

I am looking to get started and currently reside in Colorado Springs.

People get spring fever and are ready to get out of hibernation. 

One of our listings at $275k flew off the market within its first week for cash.The Cost RealityEven with lower rates, owning a home costs about 32% more per month than renting when you include mortgage, taxes, insurance, and utilities.That’s why buyers are improving — but not rushing.What This Means for 2026If rates stay near 6% this spring:• Buyer activity should continue increasing• Prices will likely rise gradually, not dramatically• Competition will be strongest under $400,000• The market will feel more balanced than the last few yearsThis isn’t a crash.

Location: Glenwood Springs, CONotable employers in the area include Valley View Hospital, Colorado Mountain College, and Aspen Ski Co.

If you have a fix and flip that will be completely ready to hit the market around Mid December, call it 12/9, are you launching it or holding for the spring market?

Colorado Springs is solid for BRRRR if you can find the right neighborhoods.

I am looking for areas within Northern/Central Jersey that are Air BnB friendly and that has a draw for a nightly stays.

I already plan to have the common wall with double sided studs, 1" air gap between the two and rockwool insulation but wondering if adding double drywall with green glue would provide enough ROI with extra rent.
