Hi Collin,After managing hundreds of properties, I always keep an eye on short-term rental trends, especially in key markets like the Smokies.

I’d recommend keeping an eye on https://www.eventbrite.com/.You can filter for events specific to multifamily.

We are Canadians eyeing up the market in the USA and looking to start investing in properties across the border. 

Even after renting, you should check the market every month or so to keep an eye on prices, vacancy rates, etc.

From my best understanding, the city zoning committee seems to turn a blind eye to it (due to the need for housing for students).

I have recently gotten into REI and my eyes have been opened to the possibilities around me.

Looking to get started soon with an eye on Rentals and BRRR.

I'd keep an eye out for future development and path of progress plays.  

Frame it like this: "in order to make sure you get paid on time I want to have a schedule of when the draw inspections should happen with the bank"Then, you have a schedule to keep an eye on and if they're slipping, you can ask them why and see how you can help them get back on track. 

Quote from @Michael Calvey: Airbnb just dropped their Q4 numbers, and something caught my eye that hosts need to pay attention to: while they're raking in $2.5B in revenue (up 12%), they're dumping massive resources into platform "improvements" - 535 of them to be exact.As someone who follows the hosting space closely, here's what's interesting: they're clearly betting big on AI and tech upgrades, but what does this mean for hosts' bottom lines?
