Major hotels will upgrade their rooms, bars, restaurants and casinos frequently, sometimes every 3-4 years.

**Supply and Demand Dynamics:**When I invested in my first STR, Tulum boasted around 2000 properties in 2017, ensuring high occupancy rates and lucrative rental returns on Airbnb.

@Andrew Steffens: there is Sky River Casino nearby, it’s 20 mins from CA Capitol.

It has been a journey and I have been cash flow positive but nothing too crazy to boast about.

Don't tell anyone that I told you, but...just wait until the Casinos are approved in the 6 sites scheduled for development.

Neighboring Mishawaka has one of the largest concentrations of retail stores in the state, and the entire region boasts affordable housing, over a dozen institutions of higher learning, easy transportation access and convenient commute times that average 20.2 minutes.

Also keep in mind most people that are boasting their rate of returns don't seem to be saying if the properties are Class A, B, C, or D.One of the things that I do is look at my portfolio as a whole, I have brand new construction in Class A areas, in addition to Class B, and Class C properties.

Some have done blog posts here boasting 100's per year if you only use their LMLO services.  

The middle class feels like talking to their peers about money is taboo, and something that should be avoided lest they sound boastful (if they are succeeding), or sound like they are a failure if they are struggling. 

The listing boasted 'NEW' Kitchen & Bath and they were blinded by the clean white kitchen cabinets/tumbled marble backsplash and new vanity in the main bath that they didn't see how cheaply it was done.
