 I like this answer. Yes I basically tapped out all the free content, I learned a lot of great stuff but I also saw he intentionally guards his rule sets. He explains enough that its compelling, creating flexible pricing strategy to drive your calendar to maximum revenue and occupancy BOTH at the same time (which some say is impossible, but it is possible) 

I know of Rob too but yes compared to Sean he is a beginner. Still good but, nowhere near that level right now.

Thanks Wilson. I'm a subscriber to PriceLabs as well but I see while it does help its really only as good as the guy/girl setting up the details. I'm also working on simultaneously running Wheelhouse which has made great leaps recently, and AirDNA. It's cheap and interesting to see how they price and opinion differently. 

Interested to see how you looked at his listings, my understanding is that he has multiple accounts under entity names etc. Are you referencing his first/original account, or do you have some secrets into this?

Hi everyone!

     I've done lots of research on pricing strategy, this guy has killer free content on youtube. He claims propriety information to a masterclass for $525 which basically lays out 8 Airbnb Rule Sets to maximize revenue (which he has used himself to grow into a multimillion dollar business)

     Same-old, same-old, right? I don't use FaceBook right now and am not part of the free FaceBook group. When I search google it doesn't pull up a whole lot, just some generic info and sometimes off-topic stuff.

My question, what do you guys think about these rule sets and pricing strategies, have any of you actually had a relationship with Sean Rakidzich etc? Would love to dive deep on pricing strategy for STR's. If anyone has any valuable info, please and thank you!

It’s a pretty expensive and tight market where deals are hard to find. If you can find a deal it will be hard to get and easy to get rid of. Areas like Lauderdale lakes are not good, areas near the beach are usually good, like east of US1 is pretty high end typically. Good luck!

Hi guys, hope you all are doing well in this Holiday time! I've had a stressful and expensive month this month with a number of pricey things pop up!

A couple days ago I had a company repave my driveway and the 52 year old cast iron pipe under the driveway started causing problems. A couple quotes later and it looks like 8 grand or so to replace. 

An insurance adjuster said he would create a claim for me for Water Damage inside the building. He looked at my DP3 Citizens policy and said he'll get me 10 grand and charge 20%. He said a claim won't affect my policy rate or get me dropped from Citizens. Is that true? 

Has anyone filed a claim with Citizens Insurance, and has their policy gone up? Any info on if this is a good idea or not? I sure feel like I could use the extra 10 grand right now, but not if my policy just gets messed up from it. Any thoughts?

I’m looking to buy a property just like that if anyone knows of anything! Looking to spend around a million bucks or so on 5+ units.. If anyone wants to work together, just throwing it out there! :)

the dollar tree is a good resource for those of you that do, the quality is actually not bad

Hi Kara, I live in Fort Lauderdale too. Your question really gets me wondering.. I am sure you know short term rentals are CRUSHING it in fort lauderdale right now, why is it you feel the need to make your first one an out-of-area investment? 

Unless you have some highly compelling and intricately thought out answer, I would really suggest looking here in your "home town", so to speak, of the Miami-Fort Lauderdale market, everyone is absolutly killing it here right now... You can double/triple your expenses (I.E. expenses are $1 earnings are $2-$3) here in your home market.

I have many local contacts here if you need any help. Keep us posted, good luck!

Hi, I am trying to do my 1st ground up construction project which is an 8 unit cluster dwelling in a hot market in South Florida.

I was able to put the opportunity together by combining 1 cheap off-market tear down deal with 1 on-market deal. It is a very premium location in a beautiful Fort Lauderdale neighborhood close to the water at a price where the numbers really work well. I have seen profitable new construction projects here already be successful, and I have a unique angle on setting this up. I have run the numbers, looked at zoning, etc. etc. etc. and I believe it can yield between a 1 to 4 million dollar exit depending on construction strategy.

Just to clarify, I am ok with giving away some of the deal, I am even ok with giving away MOST of the deal. Shoot I was even thinking of giving away 85% of the deal just to learn and get in the game. I would just like SOME level of protection while taking this quasi-off-market deal to strangers to look at given that once they have the information they could cut you out easily. A good person wouldn't, but, many people would.

I thought about how I could pretty easily get both properties under contract, but I am not sure in a hot market how long the owners would let me hold them for, and I would need time to coordinate everything. I am thinking something like an NDA form or a Non-Compete agreement. I spoke with a builder broker in the area who was REALLY interested in meeting me and asking me for the addresses but as soon as I brought up signing NDA/Non-compete he never replied. 

How do you guys think I can/should put this together in a way that can be both something I put out there and make available to interested parties, but also protect the fact that I put all the work into figuring out how to package it up and make it work in terms of financing, zoning, constructing, etc?

Thanks everyone, really appreciate your input!!!

My family has property there and honestly there is a lot of In-Law style units that are already there which the gov has just looked the other way on, this is a move to make it official.. Parking is not good in many areas so we will see how that goes but just approving the in-laws, ADU and etc. additions I don't think will tank the market. If the market tanks (rents are currently in depression while prices remain at all time highs in my areas) it would be for different factors, at least in my opinion.
