What I found with Airbnb's pricing is consistent with the above- their recommendations are for lower pricing (and not in the host's best interests).

STRs in non-traditional vacation markets like Stuttgart or Wiesbaden aren’t t just about breaking even they’re re about creating consistent cash flow that also serves as a long-term hedge against inflation.5.

I've consistently written about the forces of nature and her current and future effects on the real estate market (even while often being ridiculed and politicized on this very site for it) regardless: I personally moved and invested in coastal Oregon in 2018 from Venice Beach Los Angeles partly as a result of the trajectory of climate and have assisted several clients that specifically purchased on the Oregon Coast for their own 'climate havens,' investment and future retirement homes. 

This deal showcased how strategic planning, targeted improvements, and a strong partnership could deliver impressive returns.

The most useful switch I made was from a vendor who kept insisting the water was fine (it wasn't and no, the chemicals didn't just need more time) to a true pro who doesn't gouge us for maintenance and does a consistently great job.

Long Backstory, but my Dad owns a house in Greensboro, NC but has not lived in it consistently in 4-5 years.

That's pretty much the only way you can consistently get higher than market rent via S8.Also, don't make the mistake of assuming the S8 voucher amount is 100% for rent.

If you are nearby, if you have ever been a pizza delivery person, maybe deliver a pizza to the wrong house that may or may not be the one being foreclosed on so atleast you can see inside a small portion. we used to just go knock on the door some folks would actually let you look around.

if you know your stuff and know how to deliver a message and network by being consistent enough you will always close deals!  

Quote from @Kody Smith: without getting too deep into my finances, what my strategy is...1. take loans to buy properties (leverage)2. fix/flip for day to day cash flow income3. use some of the fix/flip income to buy consistent cash flow through:- business acquisition, - commercial properties (MF and store fronts),I have no intention of doing ALL of the management myself, I will hire management as needed (medium term goal)my expected core role is money provider, evaluating the numbers, making decisions, and connecting with investors, wholesalers, lenders, contractors, and property owners.while I am just on step 2 of the journey, I am looking toward step 3 to stabilize, and not worry about if house prices drop mid project or not (or not worry as much) So to be fair this is more about obtaining and growing a real estate business not simply buying rentals for cashflow.
