Why aren't real estate investors proactive?

[Mike Bator]

I'm genuinely curious – why aren't real estate investors proactive? For instance, with STRs, why won't an investor spend an hour on AirBNB for their area to identify listings that:
1) rank the highest
2) occupancy 95%+
3) ADR $750+
4) hosts have 2+ properties
5) listings are branded with 20k+ Instagram followers
etc

Then, reach out to those top operators; as many don't have the time or gave up on cold outreach, yet they've done the hardest 90%, have skin in the game, and outcompeted thousands of listings nearby.
