@Matt Smith Congrats on your first STR! It can definitely be daunting to know if you're doing the right thing or not, but as most have said Airbnb's Smart Pricing is NOT the right thing. A little understanding about PriceLabs will help you out in the short and long run. I manage/co-host STRs in San Antonio and AZ and would be happy to schedule a time to talk about PriceLabs and show you how it works. It's a game changer. You can use a free trial to play around too without actually linking your property. Use this link for the free trial.

@Rachael Lyn thanks for your service. I work at the VA as my w-2, but also manage STRs as Your Home Away Management, LLC. If you go the multifamily route and want to talk about potential earnings as a short term rental for another unit, let me know. There's still money to be made if you do it with someone knowledgeable. Welcome to San Antonio!

Hi @Austin Gross, I replied to another post of yours about San Antonio. I’m a nurse too, so I’d love to help you analyze San Antonio deals. I have access to AirDNA and understand the pricing and market data here very well. Let’s connect to talk about your next moves. 

Hin@Austin Gross! San Antonio has already gone through the regulation process, so there's less of a risk of anything changing and losing your permit. I'd recommend San Antonio for the right type of property. If you can do a bigger 4+ bedroom home and have the budget to do a fantastic job decorating, you'll do quite well. Let me know if I can help analyze any deals or areas in San Antonio for you. I'm a local STR manager/cohost and would love to help you make San Antonio your city!

@Eric Puffenberger have you looked at FurnishedFinder.com/stats for your market to see what the demand is and how much people are typically paying for MTR? As far as subletting a property, I imagine you're referring to the arbitrage model? I've arbitraged for STR before, but I think the margins are too slim to arbitrage for MTR, however it's less work so perhaps it could work at scale to cash flow.

@Brooklyn McCarty yes, PriceLabs has some great content and their chat support feature has had a quick response rate, which anyone would love! If you have specific questions about PriceLabs or want to see if your missing out on any of the higher level strategies, let me know. I’d be happy to help! I consult with investors around the country to help them understand their market data and how to use it to their advantage when pricing.

@Tyler Herlihy PriceLabs does have a steep learning curve, and the ones who set a base price and assume PriceLabs will get it perfectly right are missing out on so much functionality of the software. I’d be happy to help you navigate the steep learning curve so you can get ahead of your competition. I’ll send you a PM.

@Kerry Baird Hi Kerry! PriceLabs is the best! It sounds like you’re familiar with looking at comps, which is great. Have you set up a Market Dashboard in PriceLabs yet? I’m a self-proclaimed PriceLabs “super user” and would be happy to jump on a video meeting to go over PriceLabs and answer any questions you have. I consult with investors around the country and would be happy to help you navigate the steep PriceLabs learning curve.

Hi @Michael Stefan, sorry to hear about your STR manager. What is holding you back from managing yourself, at least some of them? I'd be happy to share my automation process and pricing strategy. If pricing is the issue with your current manager, perhaps it would be wise to understand the STR data in your market to help you communicate with your current manager. One of the areas I specialize in is pricing strategy and understanding data with PriceLabs. Let me know if you'd like to connect.

@Gerald Pitts @Rod Joseph, apologies I didn't get notifications of your replies. Here it is. Let me know if you'd like to set up a call to talk about your markets and pricing strategy.
