The literally single biggest mistake that people make is to buy a class D property, because it was cheap to begin with, 90+ days on market and they were able to negotiate a "discount" - ask them a year later how that worked out for them.

Downside here is you have to pay your 401k back and are limited to the lesser of 50k or half the market value of your 401k.In either of these scenarios, I think you need to evaluate the details as a whole with numbers.

Looking at AirDNA results, my biggest concern is occupancy rates, most of the calendars I look at have large gaps in them, and when you spend close to $500/sq. ft at current prices (in STR-designated areas), your property needs to rent well above 80% or you charge crazy nightly rates.We've also seen very few property management companies that charge less than 25% there (and 25% is rare), and some STR neighborhoods require you to use their designated PM (Desert Colors only allows Red Rock, and they are at 40% commissions - ouch!).
