Julian Schmidt

Financial analyst based in Hamburg, Germany. I build financial models for a living: variance analysis, cash-flow bridges, that kind of work. I got interested in short-term rentals from the numbers side: the gap between what a deal was underwritten at and what it actually does after 12 months. I'm not a US host myself, so I'm here to learn the operating reality from people who are, and to contribute on the math side where that's useful.
