The rise of STR posts on BP

[Allan Smith]

I've noticed that for months now folks are posting about STR questions more than anything else, showing the rise in popularity for newbies to venture into this strategy. I've been on BP for years and my vague recollection is that posts used to be more about wholesaling and marketing back in the 2017 - 2020 era.

I wonder what this means for REIs playing the long game. What trends might be budding or ending?

I suspect the golden era of STRs is over now that the masses with lower expectations for profit all want in. I don't know what it means, but I just find it interesting that so many of the questions on BP are about STRs now.
