So we're coming up on the fundamentals of real estate.

. - Mindset's conditioned in a kind of FOMO position from covid bull-run, a stimulus action that present's a buyer surge, and a sold price surge, may be the spark for a real tangible bubble creation appreciation frenzy as those act upon FOMO to "grab the profit's" or "get in before it's too late", ignoring market basis fundamental's, thus in a feed-back-loop of rapid appreciation, ie "bubble". - I do not see risk in seller finance side of things as i don't see potentiality of mortgage rates dropping below 6% in any enduring manner.

There just simply isn’t as much money to be made for the average Host in 2024.This increased competition, lower rates and occupancy, overly optimistic underwriting and lower travel demand post COVID travel boom does warrant a reasonable label such as “Airbnbbust”.TLDRThe environment has fundamentally changed and operators have had to do a lot more than simply list a property to profit heftily.

You have the fundamentals to start :)

Are the fundamentals not there?

I would strongly agree that there are great fundamentals in the areas above but there are areas in those neighborhoods where some folks may not feel safe. 

CRE retail has good fundamental outlook next 5-10 years due to lack of supply.

Plus, teams are finding creative ways to increase cash flow in the face of these higher rates.Make sure the market metrics are fundamentally sound and you know the true story of the deal.

LA is a sprawl of smaller cities where people live and work, and most of those cities are fine. there’s a reason the south bay attracts residents and companies, and it’ll be a long long time before those fundamentals shift.  

I am considering investing in Ohio, based on successful investments by friends but am open to other areas provided the fundamentals make sense.I look forward to connecting with fellow investors, real estate agents, and property managers to share insights and identify promising opportunities.Thanks,Julien
