The biggest headwinds right now are heightened construction costs largely driven by more expensive MEP’s, introduction of more complexed building codes, higher interest rates and opex costs impacting debt coverage which directly impact refinance options.

I summarize below.In general, continued heightened supply due to Fed 0% rate policy of 2020-2021 will bring modest rent growth for the next 12 to 18 months.

The only option I see is a high risk bridge loan for 12-16% which only heightens my monthly payments before ideally refinancing into a DSCR.

Heightened standards (bigger, better materials, etc)Population growth 

Lots of us have said that.The pain was going to amount to a heightened 10 year(and kill demand) or quick swift chop to the 10 year(and kill certainty).

I am meeting this fear and heightened risk via preparation and being ultra-selective and strategic.

There are only so many times you can turn your head away from children just like you were without the privileges of your birth being completely screwed over, being stamped defective, second-class citizens of Europe, before you realize that making this better is a useful thing to do with your life.Riding an ebike to do many of my rounds is not being fake humble, although it would appease my heightened instincts for self-preservation.

This change may be due to increasing competition in similar nature-centric destinations.Flathead National ForestOccupancy This Year: 30.70%Despite its stunning natural beauty, Flathead National Forest's occupancy rates have decreased, which might be attributed to stricter STR regulations and limited local tourism initiatives.Eastern OregonOccupancy This Year: 31.60%Eastern Oregon's rugged terrain and outdoor adventures haven't translated into increased demand for short-term rentals, evidenced by its continued low occupancy rates.Atlantic CityOccupancy This Year: 34.60%Atlantic City remains stagnant with no growth in occupancy, possibly due to heightened competition and evolving traveler expectations favoring alternative destinations.Lake of the OzarksOccupancy This Year: 35.10%With its scenic views and leisurely activities, Lake of the Ozarks is still struggling with lower occupancy rates compounded by an excess supply of vacation rentals.JasperOccupancy This Year: 36.30%Jasper's appeal as a nature retreat is not enough to counteract declining occupancy rates, suggesting possible shifts in visitor preferences or investment saturation.Sun ValleyOccupancy This Year: 37.00%Sun Valley, despite its year-round attractions, is experiencing a significant drop in occupancy, perhaps due to increased competition from similar resort towns.

Within this market, heightened home values and moderate revenues, coupled with high interest rates, it’s very difficult to find anything that cashflows.Our parents operate an STR in Maine, not as a profitable business, but as a way to offset expenses on an appreciating vacation home.

Does anyone know how much it would be (roughly) to widen and heighten 4 door frames and widen to a standard door frame?
