I will say that even though you get the boost from VRBO and AirBNB, the first year of operation is usually lean as you build up the rep.Offering a discount on the stay is a way to be more attractive but don't go crazy.

Traditional deals often don’t excite investors—offering $200/month in cash flow isn’t very compelling.But with co-living, you can offer 5X the returns, making it much easier to secure funding.Now, instead of asking an investor to put up a 20% down payment for $200/month cash flow, you can pitch them a 5% down investment yielding $1,000+/month—a much more attractive deal.Why Co-Living is the FutureCo-living isn’t just another strategy—it’s a high-demand, high-cash-flow, lower-risk investment model that aligns with today’s rental market trends.

We then export this data into an Excel spreadsheet to review metrics such as average occupancy, daily rates, and annual revenue for that specific property type and location.We'll also look at the top-performing properties in the area and analyze the amenities they offer, their location, proximity to attractions/beach etc.

I agree with @Murali Jesudoss, I had pulled back from investing when things got super crazy in the last year or so, but I believe things are stabilizing and deals will start to become more attractive.
