I am looking for some best practices regarding the lease.Do most STR require 30% down and final payment before the stay? 

Rents have also cooled off lately, which lines up with what I’ve been seeing out there.Feels like the market’s resetting as we head into the holidays—more inventory, slower activity, and buyers finally getting some more closing concessions.  

I don't have data to put to my theory, but I believe there are diminishing returns with ever higher price points (hypothetical graph below).Does anyone have any data on this or can confirm? 

Finally- my best performing STRs all have fun amenities- get a couple full size arcade games or set up a theater room with a projector and some big, cushy chairs.

Explore the data yourselfNeed visuals or deeper cuts (ZIP‑code, bedroom splits, etc.)?

Excited to finally start turning plans into action.No worries, do you have experience managing properties? 

@Evan O'Brien I am answering this based just on data I saw online but if 9/65 units are in the market - that is a lot - has to be a reason.

I've been building for others and am finally ready to build for myself.

thing is dirt cheap for what you get, even just in the reports and data side of things never mind the education side. 

I am very determined and eager to get started if anyone has any advice or ways to get started whether that's with reaching out to hard money lenders, making sure I'm doing my data correct, etc.
