I’m currently structuring a two-unit short-term rental arbitrage opportunity in Seattle built around event-driven and seasonal demand cycles and would love feedback from others who’ve operated STR arbitrage or navigated major event markets.High-level structure:• Unit 1: May 2026 – January 2027• Unit 2: September 2026 – May 2027This staggered approach allows capture of late-summer tourism, fall sports, holiday travel, and spring demand, while also positioning around anticipated lodging compression related to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is expected to shift travel patterns before and after the event due to pricing and inventory pressure.The strategy centers on:• Strong operational leverage during peak periods• Risk mitigation through fixed costs• Demand diversification across tourism + business + events• Seasonal + event-driven ADR optimization• Hybrid short-term + mid-term stay targeting• OTA + direct booking channel diversification• Conservative underwriting assumptionsI’m especially interested in insights from anyone who has:- Operated arbitrage in major event-driven markets- Managed staggered lease timing across multiple units- Underwritten STR performance around World Cup, Olympics, or similar eventsHappy to compare notes or walk through assumptions privately with anyone interested.Appreciate any feedback or perspectives.

Additionally, what methods have you found effective for identifying trends and collecting reliable demand data — whether through surveys, market observation, or direct customer feedback?

Any guidance or feedback would be much appreciated! 

Not seeking capital — just looking for experienced insight from those who’ve navigated similar commercial financing situations.Appreciate thoughtful feedback from investors active in West Texas or similar markets.— Eduardo

Would be interested in feedback from other landlords in the area if have looked at Section 8 as a better alternative for tenants or is this problematic as well?

Would appreciate feedback from others.

Could you give me some feedback?

Did you ever get any feedback?

Try to join local REIA and talk to investors to get feedback on their experience with lenders.

I am looking for any feedback of the area, rent rates, and home value after renovations.
