Also seems that most brands have limited options for dressers, and those they do have are more concerned with having a trendy MCM look than being functional. 

After talking with an operator I felt he was a good choice for a tenant and he mad a great offer above market for the apartment so we agreed.In the past I would usually rent my own units and to stay competitive I would keep an eye on the rentals in the area and try to be one step above if I could....This time that was a little tougher as the neighborhood hasn't gotten very trendy. 

A foosball table, a "Log Cabin (or other trendy) theme", or 3-jet shower probably have a better place in an STR than an MTR.

Don’t be that guy or girl who likes that it’s cheap, thinks that it’s trendy, or is just plain lazy and puts that stuff in a bathroom.

The vibe of Biddeford has gone from burning garbage in a decimated downtown, to boutique hotel and trendy restaurants in very few years.The apartments in town were built for mill workers a long time ago.  

With the real numbers I have now, I know I can make around 250k+ in revenue with 3 Arbitrage properties, if I keep the same trend I can make another 250k+ with 3 more and that's on the lower end, so I plan to keep expanding, the thing is I am having a hard time envisioning expansion in my local area, and kind of hitting a wall when researching other areas.

The trend is down, but hovering just south of 4%.

This is especially true for the city and for most of the trendy neighborhoods.

We focused on 1 and 2 br properties long before MTRs became trendy because they have lower price points, less competition, lower expenses, and while the tenant pool is smaller, so is supply.

That neighborhood is buzzing with potential-young professionals, trendy developments, and a rental market that’s always in demand.
