Learn basic maintenance stuff from YouTube (caulking, painting, learn how to use a drill, etc) and find a well priced handyman for maintenance.

I don't believe that is the case, especially if you have a quality unit, priced competitively, and clear advertising.

Purchase price: $375,000 Cash invested: $87,000 STR What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Lastly, the price point is still very cheap here in the sense that you can still find investment deals that hit the 1% rule for 120-180k!

Just make sure you are saving towards those slow months during the peak months, buy a deal at the right price (don't overpay just because its a turnkey STR or you think it will make more money than projected), and look into ways to increase bookings during those slow months with some marketing and operation tweaks. 

In my observation here in Santa Rosa, the first lots out of the gate that sold went for too high of a price. 

Hi Fernando....I'm a broker looking for a company that does DSCR loans with no or very little seasoning to allow for the value instead of the Purchase Price.

The draw is actually this coming Fri for 2026The market for STR seems saturated in popular/touristic regions, however, if you have a unique property and offer affordable pricing, you may get descent occupancy. 

It seemed like a long-term play with less price or industry volatility.

Even if you only averaged 2.8% appreciation annually, which if you've had it 20 years I have no clue how that's true given prices have well more than doubled in that time, youre skipping over the fact that you have been benefiting from that appreciation on the ENTIRE house, not just the % you paid for.
