Market is continuously stable and rents well.

Booking.com continues to dominate Airbnb at a high price.more bookings coming in from bdc. none from abb.

This is a great platform to network and to continue to learn.Best of luck on your real estate journey.

what's your intention for continually raising capital?

To me STR and hotel caters to different groups of travelers and so despite competition as long as the travel demand of Hawaii remains (as you pointed out is a robust assumption) I think both will continue to do well.  

They should not SET the commission amount, because as the DOJ says, they do so under the threat of a group boycott if they don't offer the "standard" (which I know is a word you are not supposed to say).The reason Realtors and the NAR are fighting so hard to keep seller set commissions, is that buyers do not believe they get $12,000 worth of service when they buy the average $400k home.

They have noted who they invested with and several of these sponsors used to be huge contributors to a BP and now have gone completely dark on their investors or but continue to pump out podcast episodes and speaking engagements… So my question is: is it that bad out there in the syndication space?

If you have a good relationship then they would be willing to answer questions but if you are just going to ask a bunch of questions they won't continue to answer.

I'd recommend the following:1) Continue to stay at home to save up more2) Buy the crappiest home in a good neighborhood, with financial help (parents?)

I'd expect prices to continue to appreciate, so the longer you delay, the more expensive things may be.
