When they control a larger percentage of the market, it will be like the airlines... fare wars disappeared when the competition dwindled.    

I am a airline pilot makes 300k year with 700 score Last year I bought two single family homes and Rented out.

My full time job is flying for the airlines and at times a have a good amount of down time.

The hotels have more complex RM tools that take into consideration factors such as airline activity and calculate based on occupancy levels.  

That's like asking - should I be a hockey player or an airline pilot lolWhich do you think you'd make more money with - do that one :)

Hi Marcus - Texas is a FABULOUS place to invest - and only a quick airline flight away - and if you have a 3RD party property management company running the property for you -you can do both - INVEST WHERE YOU ARE - or INVEST WHERE YOU BELIEVE IT IS PROFITABLE!!

I fell in love with aviation as a child and wanted to be a airline pilot or professional pilot.. however mid 70s was not a time to get hired on in the aviation world so I started in RE.I have owned planes most of my adult life.. do I need them of course not.. but its something that I dreamed of and wanted.. could I have saved every penny I earned over the years and retired years ago sure.... but then I would not have all these great life experience's which are worth more to me than money in the bank...

Cost Assumptions Purchase Price $ 90,000 Improvements $ 15,000 Closing Costs $ 4,500 Total Cost $ 109,500 ARV   $ 120,000     Revenues   Monthly Rental Income $ 2,400 Vacancy/Loss Rate 25% Vacancy/Loss Value $ (600) Gross Income $ 1,800     Expenses   30% Net Income $ 1,260 We rent exclusively to airline pilots and flight attendants, so proximity to airport, public transit, and a lot of space are key - plus an area that is safe.  

@Ethan Schneider This may be oddly specific but I have typical "airline miles" card on the carrier with the (generally) cheapest flights to where my out-of-state multifamily properties are located. 

@David Thompson  I can see commitment to actual funding to be along the lines you talk about that's the same reason the airlines over book the seats..
