The lower level (bottom 25% of Airbnb) and even more profitable hosts who want less work could see a sell-off in 2025.

Hello! Newbie investors here. We are looking at smart locks for our STR. There are so many to choose from. Which brands do you find reliable and recommend? Any we should steer clear of?

The most common benefits a landlord can get from an arbitrage agreement are: reduced vacancy expense, decreased maintenance costs (most arbitragers agree to fix any damage done by guests), increased rent (most pay a premium), reduced number of hours managing the property (aka it's more passive)Some less common benefits, but still worth mentioning: Using the property to host their own guests at a lower rate during the "vacation season", Revenue sharing, arbitrage managing landscaping, and other management tasks. 

I see that you have hosted some seminars, so I just started following you.

I'm in Jacksonville and I'm an Airbnb coach/consultant and often work with hosts looking to expand their portfolio.

Sept is also low season in FL, and we are going through an over saturation of hosts in many areas.  

I run a FB group for STR Hosts of North GA & this is a topic of conversation lately.

The amount of work and capital it takes is usually smarter spent on either buying your own property or venturing into co-hosting.
