Did you know that Colorado Springs is consistently ranked among the top places to live in the U.S.?

I pay their outrageous subscription fee (I think it's currently $695 but seems to go up annually, clearly they hope hosts move away from it and I am suspicious that my ranking has gone down because I am still on the subscription model) and my effective rate is 3.36% because they charge their 3% on taxes too (which mine are 11%).  

At one point (it's been a few years since I delt with this) there was a nationwide advertiser (high ranking on Google search) that had contracted with the low cost provider in Denver and had a non-compete clause.

For instance, with STRs, why won't an investor spend an hour on AirBNB for their area to identify listings that:1) rank the highest2) occupancy 95%+3) ADR $750+4) hosts have 2+ properties5) listings are branded with 20k+ Instagram followersetcThen, reach out to those top operators; as many don't have the time or gave up on cold outreach, yet they've done the hardest 90%, have skin in the game, and outcompeted thousands of listings nearby.

Then move on to data analysis to down select and stack rank from there.

Thank you.You are probably asking how to hack the system, but all the advice to hack a top ranking won't work over time unless you are a very strong operator already.

Columbus has ranked on the top 10 markets that outline that for the past 6 months at least. the best place to buy new builds is in higher priceopint markets but where the costs haven't gotten out of control. besides that I'd recommend working with a vertically integrated land development, real estate development, and new construction firm or design build firm who also understands market conditions.
