Looking at AirDNA results, my biggest concern is occupancy rates, most of the calendars I look at have large gaps in them, and when you spend close to $500/sq. ft at current prices (in STR-designated areas), your property needs to rent well above 80% or you charge crazy nightly rates.We've also seen very few property management companies that charge less than 25% there (and 25% is rare), and some STR neighborhoods require you to use their designated PM (Desert Colors only allows Red Rock, and they are at 40% commissions - ouch!).

Most will tell you STRs are a lot of work and I won't disagree with that if you don't know what you are doing.I will say though, we have been able to put together some rock-solid systems and processes to streamline that to minimize the work and maximize the returns.My business partner and I are actually writing a chapter in a new book that is coming out this year about unique stays.

Zillow's agent star rating system is an attept into that direction, but is founded on the fact that agents pay for Zillow engagement and so the behind the scene dynamics lead to results, that are not in the best interest of consumers.

We also have consistent 5 star reviews across our MTM and the past week I've lowered the price to almost at cost but no solid leases yet just inquiries.Where else can we cross list and still get quality tenants?
