It's complex and there are a lot of players and reasons.

As a new STR player myself all I can say is we have 24 nights booked out of 31 days in July and our place has only been listed for a month.

I'm hoping things stay a little bleak for a while because the current environment has gotten a lot of big players out of my sandbox and made acquisition of sad-case properties a lot easier.

Love a Challege, we surrounded ourselves with the top players there, no concern After being in the Cleveland markets for 10 years, nothing will phase me.

I do think the big players moving into the SFR space, such as Invitation Homes, presents anther option for the SFR landlord to liquidate their portfolio en-mass.

Might be worth chasing down the smaller players in your city.

If it’s not selling - cut that price.Hook up with a REIA and see if any players in there can package your property with others to some foreign investors maybe?

I'd also guess some of the other bigger players do as well.

finding leases is very competitive now w/ larger, VC backed players in the game and pushing a lot of new supply onto the market through taking over huge buildings.4) There's a lot of up-front cost if youre doing it right, since the market is gotten more competitive, you need to stand out. 

But good architects have skills that many serious players in the real-estate world consider valuable. 2.
