The article is from Airdna.  It basically states that everything negative being said about the STR business is wrong, or at least much less of a problem - negative than believed.  And since their business depends on INCREASING the number of people investing in STR, there is a clear bias.  Expecting anything close to a impartial analysis of the future of STR in a semi disguised publicity plug by an industry service provider is like expecting the National Association of Realtors to put out a statement that home prices are over priced and at an unsustainable level and that everyone should put off home buying for the foreseeable future.LOL.  Right.  I remember NAR issuing a statement when mortgage interest rates hit 14% in 1981 that now was the time to lock in those low double digit rates.  
Bottom line isn’t whether you agree or disagree; the articles reasoning, methodology and conclusions are predetermined and biased, so the article is beyond useless.  Much like a NAR statement of whether or not it’s a “good” time to purchase a home.
