Despite mortgage rate unpredictability, the real estate market is

growing in some of the country’s priciest cities. According to the

latest Zillow data, listings and homes going under contract have

increased markedly in September. Cities at the top end of the market,

such as Seattle, Los Angeles, and San Jose, showed the greatest gains.

“Generally, new listings and sales moved closer to pre-pandemic norms in

September,” said Kara Ng, a housing economist at Zillow, told Yahoo!

Finance. “That’s still a long way to go in terms of normalizing supply.”

It’s hard to let go of control. Scary, even. But taking a calculated

risk to surrender control in exchange for more freedom can mean progress

towards your life goals. 

This is because you can’t have both freedom and total control. You need

to choose—in your real estate investments, in your business (if you have

one), and in your personal life.

Finding the best market for new short-term rental investors has proven

more daunting in recent years. Interest rates and insurance premiums are

rising, and competition is increasing due to the sheer supply in the

short-term market. There was even a rumor of an Airbnb bust, but that

may have just been for the hosts thinking Grandma’s old house was the

perfect short-term rental.

We all know the heavy hitters for STR markets: The Smokies, Joshua Tree,

Whitefish, etc. These markets also come with heavy price tags that push

out most new investors. What if I told you there are still areas that

can bring in nearly as much income for half of the start-up costs?
