Yeah I’ve heard how hard it is to raise money right now.

And done 3 or 4 in the Bay Area  both SF  San Jose and Oakland .. of course thats were I was born and raised so its going home for me. 

it's going to be nearly impossible to raise money for deal 1 without a track record

Over the last four years we have been raising rents which has been fine but about two years ago inflation got out of control.

And yes, we did get the sail boat and raised our family on it for 10 years. 

Then you can raise prices, above your original Deal analysis.

If you can’t raise the capital yourself you could always look into second lien position lenders for the rehab costs.

You slow demand with higher interest rates, which makes houses less affordable due to higher interest payments.You raise demand with lower interest rates, or “rate cuts”.That part of the quoted post makes no sense, hence there is no “conspiracy”.

There are settings in the platform that help you apply rules like dropping the nightly rates as they come closer, discounting for gaps between bookings, raising the prices around the holidays, etc.

So for a $500k investment you would look to raise $250-$300k and get bank money for rest but your overhead will be too high.
