@Remington Lyman sends great emails regarding hot Columbus properties.

yeah for some of these barebones cabins in the woods in a hot short term rental market with no Neighbors.

Many that I've talked to are now working their own acquisition strategies using call centers, etc. to take cold and warm lists to hotter and then focusing more time speaking directly with potential motivated sellers from those hot lists, rather than using a wholesaler (or any other middle man) to source deals.

There's a popular post circling about why direct booking sites for STR/MTR are overrated. Although the author makes some good points it skips over many of the benefits and how the risks can be mitigated.

Hey Brandon, the mid-market is pretty hot and affordable.

Sellers, in light of this new proposed ruling, will have a knee jerk reaction, but in time they will themselves see the importance of having to compensate for greater buyer attention.We came out of a white flame hot covid market where commissions were flying, sellers were getting paid, and buyers were getting smoked if they couldn't bring 100K above ask. 

Also more options for pest/hot tub care.Year 1 (2023) we had 79% occupancy, and frankly I think we were a little underpriced. 

Seems like they are running a Pawn Shop, homeowners in Austin/Miami/Tampa etc who need cash bad sell a "HomeShare", percentage of their equity in their home for a discount, with a term of 10 yrs, if the homes go up in value as they have since 2011/2012 then NADA gets the original equity already at a premium price plus any appreciation for the total percentage they bought from the homeowner, but since Austin now down 20% in last 12 months and other hot home markets may also continue to fall, and NADA does not engage in price discovery (ie shopping for best value) as they want to obtain a "Market Value - ETF like" of the cities they invest in.
