Basically, it's the body mass index of real estate investing: easy to calculate, but not providing much real insight.That said, the best explanation I've seen so far is here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...

.- Liability - always flows to the deepest pockets- Fear of regulation - regulatory bodies are gunning to take down short term rentals basically everywhere.

That falls under the legal doctrine of "Pigs get fat and Hogs get slaughtered."

In fact, after seeing the rent rates the thought that popped into my head was "if it were me I'd be sitting fat and happy with that cashflow, but I'd still advertise it for sale at my "make me sell" price and be tickled by the cash-out if it came."

We're all million dollar fat cats juggling 100 apartment buildings in a portfolio, don't'cha'know, and living off our yachts on the Riviera.

There is NOTHING I don't know about the human body.

Is there a governing body that does those sort of things?

No matter how much automation you get set up something is going to pop up that you didn't plan for.This person just has to be a warm body that you can have go onsite and report information to you.

We’re not getting fat by being lazy; we’re doing the work ourselves.
