I picked up my first syndication using their methodology.

If you search hard enough you can find a sample for most of them. 

Rob K - I posted a sample of the actual letter I use in this next link:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/90852-tenant-screening-uncovered-duis-jail-time-etc?

But if you want to, they have some sample templates.  

Your review count requirement in your methodology completely skews your results. 

Investors in the STR market who do not create their own methodology for direct bookings risk getting “killed” in the next economic correction.  

Quote from @Evan Polaski: @Will Boller, in a quick click around on Interval International's website (https://www.intervalworld.com/web/my/home) a major exchange for timeshare properties, it seems like it is 50/50 from my small sample looking at properties in the northeast USA, with a handful allowing Sunday weekly check-ins too.Granted, this exchange is not an Airbnb, but it is all weekly stays in condos run, presumably, by large professional operators that have studied this business to maximize revenue.   

Just because we experienced investors KNOW that the methodology they’re teaching doesn’t work, doesn’t mean that they committed fraud.

I feel as though we need to process more sample deals with the calculators as the availability of properties is there, but the prices are not passing the cap rate or viable rate of return test in our market.

Even if the methodology they teach can be successful (which is in doubt), it certainly cannot be successful at all times in all markets.
