I've worked with over 400 STR investors at this point, and the mistake I still see the most has nothing to do with the property itself. It's often cash reserves. People will underwrite a deal down to the exact dollar on ADR and occupancy, build this beautiful spreadsheet, and then go put every la...

I often see people say some version of “Airbnb is dead” or “the market is saturated” and I think thats a really lazy way to look at what is actually happening.
