You are just trying to balance your revenue with the increased expenses of operating this business.  

Biggest thing is make 80% of your revenue in football season and it is ok the rest of the year.

These options in my opinion have increased revenue in the current market that just compensates for their increased effort (I have 4 STRs in my market).  

The Denver STR market ain't bad, but just like most places in the U.S. right now, if you're buying at today's interest rates and with the revenues still lower than in 2021/2022, they're tougher to get right.

The Bourbon Trail will surpass Napa Valley in revenue generated this year as well!

It's the most important document you have as a tool to increase revenue, reduce costs and liabilities, and be able to enforce the way you do business with tenants.

Sure DSCR lenders use revenue as a factor of LTV but it will not increase the value of the underlying asset. 

Logically this makes sense too, revenues are starting to reflect 2019 rental numbers and cost to borrow is higher than 2019 as well. 

Does the same apply to a STR (of course there's no lease, but there are reviews and established revenues)?

As for the revenue, I would rely on a property manager to verify/weigh in on the rent amounts.
