Hi guys, I posted that hosts should focus on one platform to boost ranking instead of spreading out multiple platforms and I think I owe more explanation since all the seasoned hosts do not agree with me.

It has my peak seasons 2-3 times higher then my competitors but I think it's way too high and I'm going to have to drop prices dramatically later to get a booking.

One of the best things you can do to boost your forum, podcast, and book knowledge is to get out to real estate investing meetups in your area.

Still, it makes sense because oftentimes some of the rents have never been raised for years, and those NW side neighborhoods have increased rent dramatically! 

Being fiscally conservative with our current expenses will help boost our cash reserves to acquire new assets.Originally posted by @Jay Hinrichs:Just so you know, I'm partnered in 2 private equity funds that have a similar business model to AHP.

Start small with simple rehab projects like painting or landscaping to boost value without overextending.

This is a very valuable skillset to have in your arsenal as an investor that can dramatically increase your net worth in a short period of time if the strategy is applied correctly.  

I think one thing people need to understand is in the US the ten-year treasury is competing against the mortgage-backed securities and while the ten-year is impacted by interest rates, its not the only factor and amount of spending we do also impacts it.they auctioned off 30-year today and it went really bad as no one wants our long-term debt and it sold for 4.3%10-year notes recently traded for 3.96% but again very weak demand - which I believe means yield prices may continue to move up, which means interest rates are not going down dramatically anytime soon - so that fed 25 or 50bps drop is not going to have your mortgage lender dropping rates suddenly the next day...Now the spread between the 10 yr and 30yr mortgages historically is closer to 1.75 but recently has been between 2-3% due to yield curve.

There is also algorithm advantageous to bi-weekly vs monthly, so a bit of a credit-hack boost effect to it. 

Some lenders will only lend with that reserve funded, in addition to down payment, as the more you boost NOI, the more secure their loan becomes.
