Unfortunately many investors become laser focused on the 100% recapitalization of their transactions and end up working harder than those who don't place all of their emphasis on the 100% capitalization and have real estate portfolios that perform better because they made investment decisions better aligned with the underlying real estate's fundamentals.

We certainly made that mistake, with both listing-level and group-level customizations.Or there might be some other sensitivity settings you could use, e.g. the weight of local hotels in the algorithm (the default is super low, but in some markets, that's what you want to align to).We've been using PL 4 years now, and it's still a learning curve (and I say that as someone that's spoken in a webinar on behalf of Pricelabs on revenue management strategy).

This means identifying your investment goals first, then choosing a market that aligns with that strategy.
