This being said, in those other countries, you don't have the mass tourism that Mexico gets, which means you'll get lower occupancy which, alongside with a lower ADR, will give you much less income.

Mass is a good market if you know how to play in it.

We had one in Mass. recently where they overvalued the property which was in awful condition and compared it to homes in a cul de sac that were updated.

There are trade off marketing channels such as cold calling and mass SMS. 

(Mass Govt should be giving experienced landlords (5 years operating with at least one unit at profit as a buy and hold) zero down loans to house these people (in areas they currently live in--so they can stay close to friends and family), and free money to fix up the Brockton type area homes to modern standards inside. 

The property owners IN MASS burnt down their properties, which, since they did not file insurance claims was actually the only LEGAL way to free themselves of the continuing negative cash flow of these buildings.  

In addition to what others have said, keep in mind that New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and other big league cities have the scale and mass to absorb tens of millions of dollars in investment without going "tilt."

Your clients are motivated sellers.You can NOT convert people who do not want to sell  (below market value) into people willing to sell below market value.The mistake people make (constantly) is their efforts are based on forcing non-motivated sellers to sell, by constant harassment.This is wrong.Instead of mass mailing blanket mailing,  and putting your energy in finding random people and forcing them to become motivated by putting a ton of effort and money into follow-up, you need to focus on targeting the RIGHT people.People who are actually looking for your service.Hopefully, it changes your perspective and you can improve your business.

Even at $49 a night during the mass exodus from Tampa during Milton the unit still went unrented.
