In addition, Airbnb is getting more and more competitive since the number of listing are going up and many are not getting filled as fast as in the recent past.  

Turns out there's a way to be that without risking your livelihood.I took a chance on VestRight because what I saw was a ground floor opportunity - a space that isn't flooded with an insane amount of competition.

I did start with lower prices to be competitive and get reviews at first.

Keep your loan approval process quick and flexible, build strong industry relationships, and offer competitive rates.

Here what they pay really isn't competitive although some places I understand they pay a premium.

Worked with sellers broker to secure seller financing at competitive rates How did you add value to the deal?

Seek competitive rates and terms: Compare interest rates, loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, and loan terms among different lenders.

Many Airbnb hosts are switching to MTM to fill their bookings, so you have more competition. 

There's less people buying 2 flats, therefore there's not as much competition to buy.

I would recommend checking out Airbnb, Zillow and Furnished Finder to see what else is out there in terms of competition to get an idea of pricing and level of furnishings.
