Hello all!

I have been running STRs in San Antonio, TX since 2019 mostly in the NW side but have a couple of Airbnbs/VRBOs centrally and downtown.

I have done rental arbitrage, managed properties, and owned.

I would love to share my knowledge on the market and STRs in general if anyone needs! Feel free to connect (:

I had a great experience with arbitrage. I was able to gain great cash flow without having to put in x amount of money down or worry too much about large maintenance issues. However, I realized I preferred my business model to be geared towards fully owning my rentals simply due to not having to work through a homeowner to resolve major issues like HVAC, plumbing, etc. I found that the homeowners were not willing to work around my STR guest occupancies and schedules at times ): It all depends on how you structure your lease agreement, but there does require a level of cooperation when issues arise. I hope this helps!

 Yeah definitely, I would be weary of how the property is looked after with an arbitrage as well. But if you have a great homeowner (myself 😅), I do build to rents, so only new construction homes, I'd think arbitrage becomes a lot easier.

Hi, I have been doing a combination of short, medium, and long term rents on a few nice furnished homes that I own for the last 10 years.  Would like to connect so we can share knowledge and see how we can help each other.

Hi Sherylyn, are you strictly doing arbitrage, or looking into ownership as well?

 Hi Zach! I recently have steered away from the arbitrage model and am looking towards the full ownership business model.
