Summary

In this video, Al Williamson discusses why he's shutting down one of his rental arbitrage apartments, explaining that seasonal slowdowns, changing market demands (like modern amenities and pet-friendliness), and property-specific issues (like an outdated unit that gets too hot) can outweigh marketing efforts. He highlights the importance of pivoting and reevaluating your rental strategy rather than stubbornly sticking to a lease or property that isn't performing well.
