According to Jamie and his team, the STR market is healthy, strong, and sustainable at this point.As an owner of STRs and advisor to clients who are also owners, this was a refreshing listen on BP. 

I have a healthy income and have built a solid financial base for my age.

I understand most would say I should double-down with my spouse on our business full time but 1) our industry is heavily regulated in a way that can really affect revenue so it's a priority for both of us to have another avenue of income-- if not cash flow now, then appreciation/equity. 2) my spouse and i work very differently so while we have made it work the last couple of years, it isn't conducive long term to a healthy marriage. 

We get cracks like this all the time.Nothing a bit of duct tape can't fix lolJokes in the south you can have some nasty soils..

ANY lender is going to want core soil testing which is expensive- where is this?

@Gabriel Oquendo The STR market is still quite healthy here in Myrtle Beach and the other nearby beaches comprising the Grand Strand. 

I have experienced, first hand, so many healthy people drop out of the blue, as young as 40s, but often in their 50s and 60s.

we eventually refied after only 9 months with a significant noi increase through fannie becoming cash on cash plus a sizeable non taxable event along with 5 years i/o at a very low rate which allows for a healthy cash flow

When there are no events, the venue has been booked for short-term rentals.Business has no debt, and is turn-key (advertising is creating a healthy pipeline, there are existing employees, and will come with all the inventory and FFE&V). 

I've been able to get a healthy combination of both cashflow and appreciation from all my properties after a little TLC.Happy to share my experiences.
