Another one bites the dust

I am  leaving a Master Mind group meeting in Puerto Rico. This has 12 different RE associations from across the Eastern U.S.

So one of the guys who is apparently not as experienced as I thought as this was his first STR house apparently had to dump his really nice Lake House in TN. It was a very nice house, but I thought it was too rural when he bought it.

He did not properly vet the property. He likely paid too much and I'm sure he didn't properly check the occupancy and nightly rates. He might have depended too much on Airdna but not sure on that.

I think we will be hearing more and more of these type scenarios on improperly vetted STRs.
