It seems like the number of STR over there is very high which is hard to compete with but compared to other strong vacation markets like Smoky Mountains or Florida beaches the prices are still decent.  

If you havent done so, find a lender competent in self-employed borrowers. 

I am thinking that the time and money it would take to not only obtain the license but also become competent enough would probably not be the best investment.

On one document I received it states: "The individual (applicant) is mentally competent but due to age or physical infirmity is unable to manage his or her property and affairs effectively and, recognizing this disability, has requested a conservator's appointment"It also states the conservator is: "conservator of all assets of the individual's estate".What I'm wondering is do I need the conservator to also be the co-signer on the lease?

Like any platform they have advantages and disadvantages.Advantages:1) transparency: they publish the full results of their loan book, making them only the third side in the industry to do this. 2) underwriting: they have a 1.8% uncured default rate, which is good and is much lower than some of the other competing platforms and hard money loan alternatives (although not all).

Fewer investors are looking which means your competing with fewer people and you have a better chance of buying an appropriately priced property.

If I’ve got the capital to furnish and decorate a property to compete in San Antonio, then do STR.

I would definitely be calling Airbnb on that for sure.I brought up a recent bad experience with some NFL players lighting off fireworks and setting the house and their car on fire and then blaming it on the neighbors even though we have a ring doorbell there (+ neighbors ring doorbells!).

If 2x, 3x, 10x the # of burger trucks flood onto a given street to offer burgers to the people, to meet demand 1:1 it has an economic effect of competion driving prices to REMOVE any bloat, any false margins, right.

From what I see on my deals is a lot of different names so the deals are spread out between a lot of smaller players .
