We just got updated rate sheets today and rates went up

Surely a 5-star rating is worth more than that!

@Marc Winter The rumor around town is that most PM's are at 85% occupancy rate but it is really hard to tell since there isn't a reporting agency.

MoFin even rated me as a “difficult client” — seriously?

Needs to be unique, designed well, photographed well, etc. etc.The STR market here in Colorado is saturated, but I still have clients in the last year buying at elevated prices, at elevated interest rates, that are killing it because they follow the playbook for Airbnb success in 2025.But if you're trying to start a run-of-the-mill short-term rental at this moment in the STR lifecycle, just plan to make marginal cash flow at best.

There will be one more FOMC meeting in December which will determine whether another rate cut is on the table.

Rates are slightly lower today.

They'd have poor reviews and a one star rating.

Being intentional with design — putting money to the side to pay a professional designer, buy furniture and accessories — can be all the difference in a 5 star listing or a 2 star listing.
