Quote from @Ryan Moyer: STR Hosts: I proactively dish out refunds like cookies to make sure I only get 5* reviews.Also STR Hosts: Why are guests such entitled brats nowadays that demand a refund for every little tiny issue? 

prices are high, interest rates are high, there is tremendous demand for inventory by both retail / primary buyers and investors, good contractors are booked up, some materials are still expensive. ' can't we just be honest that (1) if you are in a strong financial position, then yes, RE is still a good investment and ALSO  (2) it's way more difficult than it was in 2016? 

The need is much much much greater and demand will continue to outpace supply.

There’s a big demand for rooms to rent in this economy.

Landlords are going to have to fix these properties, and with many cities looking for affordable housing solutions, these owners may be in trouble.Renting appears to be more in demand, and is currently cheaper than buying.

Hi investors,Would greatly appreciate your advice on how to measure if there's enough rental demand in a town. 

Plans are underway to add a high-demand ADU, increasing cash flow by $900/month.

Hi @Wilson Lau - do you have any knowledge of STR demand in North San Jose zip codes specifically, for example Berryessa?

If anyone has knowledge of the local rental demand, property values, or general area insights, I’d greatly appreciate your input.

Either way its so refreshing to hear this work for others in this forum as opposed to people saying they are savages and need to be treated like animals.
