A lot of people tend to mingle these things when they talk about "break even" or "cap rate", but that leads to a lot of confusion.Let's use some real numbers which may be easier to understand. 

I know these forums tend to be anti-mentorship, but I was hoping someone who has gone through a mentorship for STRs, even this particular one, could reach out and let me know if it's worth the success they've seen so far.  

We are in the last month of 2024 and usually in December and around January through March properties tend to pop up faster.
