Don't get sucked in to borderline applicants, make it as black and white as you can so you can approve or turn down with confidence. 

It was always....black swan event, interest rates never went this high, no one foresaw this, insurance and taxes are through the roof, not our fault.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the first-time investor isn't looking to spend $2M and be in the black $1,000/mo or more.Secondly, and most importantly, you can NOT get an STR in Breckenridge (or Keystone, another option in your response).

I am under contract on an A-Frame to STR in Black Mountain, NC (if it survived the storm) and I couldn't use the DSCR for STR because they messed up 2023 after crushing 2022 on Airbnb.I am at 30% down, 1.75 points, 6.875% with no prepayment penalties - $1,644/month.

I live in Black Mountain, right outside Asheville.  

Interior - Recently redone black granite countertops in kitchen, but original cabinetry was simply painted white by previous owner with black accented handles.

@Fahima Hilal I have ones that are wood, white ones, and black ones.

The black dishwasher is something I noticed pretty quick.

I am buying an A-Frame in Black Mountain, NC for the same reason.

Finally, you will want to seal up the walls about 3' or so with Kilz or Shellac ( I prefer pigmented shellac as it seems to work better) Another thing you can do is go through with a black light at night and run it along the walls.
