@John Underwood @Michael Baum  there are PM's on this specific forum too...

So @Gi'angelo Bautista, most of us here own our own properties.

Managing a hotel is really not the same as co-hosting a STR IMHO. You can get a 4 year degree is hotel hospitality and all the folks that I know who run hotels have that degree.

Hey Everyone, our market (the SF Bay Area) has had short term rental ADR's drop a lot to the point where long term makes more sense to landlords after all expenses. Some areas in the Bay Area are still doing okay, but lower than before depending on house size. Many landlords are shifting from short term to long term or mid term. Mid term is flooded because of short term rental regulations. What are you all doing to expand your business when the STR market is shrinking?

Are you just going to other markets like actual vacation markets? 
Have you all tried to get into managing hotels/motels? 
Have you just pivoted to adding LTR management?
Are you adding commercial services? 

Hi John, I really appreciate your comment, genuinely curious, what led you to feel that way about Mexico?

Mexico isn't easy to buy and manage from the states. I haven't done it by we have a couple people on here that are very knowledgeable about Mexico and it can be fraught with issues.!

@Mike Lambert for one is someone I trust and maybe he can comment.
