Needs to be unique, designed well, photographed well, etc. etc.The STR market here in Colorado is saturated, but I still have clients in the last year buying at elevated prices, at elevated interest rates, that are killing it because they follow the playbook for Airbnb success in 2025.But if you're trying to start a run-of-the-mill short-term rental at this moment in the STR lifecycle, just plan to make marginal cash flow at best.

Providing a combination of salary and bonuses allowed us to attract and retain talented underwriters who were aligned with our long-term goals.Here's a pro tip I've learned along the way: matching the right people to the right jobs is gold.

However, that may be because of the procedures they use in lock changes and rekeying.That said, I think this provider is giving good rates for this work and I'm actually surprised to see so detailed of a breakdown. 

OKC has some short term regulations now (as well as a few of the suburbs.) 

Esteban, it may be slightly different because I target multi-family buildings, but I always look for a value-add deal with the intention of holding long term.

Some lenders are horrible to work with despite offering attractive terms.

Are you planning to run it as long-term rentals or are you considering Airbnb/short-term?

Although in fairness they offered to give us the tenants details so we could try to collect it on our own!

Quote from @Bryan Adams: @Ken M Well the whole point of my question was if there is any advantages to have a RE license# , like is there  any specific software or website that only agents can use ,like there was one  (realtracs.net) that I had a friend who let me borrow his license number and ID to log in to the website to get the area comp and much more detail info that I was not able to get it as a non-Agent.I hope this makes sense and did not complicated my initial question.Your friend would lose his or her license in one second for doing that.

Can you provide more details on the numbers/profit/etc?
