The only way to sustain your current lifestyle is if rents keep up with inflation.

Yes, I realize that means you and I need to pay for this out of our other pocket, but the cycle of lost rent, damages, and lost time is not sustainable for many, many, small to medium landlords.

To get a deal from 100 post cards would be pure luck, not a sustainable business model. 

Don't let them freak you out too much. although to be brutally frank.. wholesaling varies greatly by location and area.. and access to older inventory and burnt out landlords and areas that are declining or there are like Detroit  Philly Baltimore and other areas.. literally thousands of vacant homes. this is target rich environment for wholesalers.. some areas there simply is not nearly enough inventory or access to distressed assets to sustain the legion of folks that think wholesaling is as easy as sending out a few letters .. when in fact I cant think of any thing harder than to be a successful wholesaler.  

They seem to be interested in regulating versus banning, which I think is a good thing long-term for sustainability of the STR industry.  

While "alternative assets" have historically been cumbersome and fee-heavy to sustain bespoke management, our back-office support ensures that portfolio-diversification and the legacy of this asset will withstand the test of time as you share and enjoy it with family and friends along the way.

If it is a legitimate default, where the buyer fails to pay as agreed and resonable opportunities have been provided to cure such defaults, then the buyer needs to sell or move, IMO.If, there is an indication that any investor is acting otherwise, I will assist them to the extent allowed by law, which can be considerable assistance.

CA this weekend and I found the same thing by the time you add cleaning fee in many times these homes are double the price of a very nice hotel so not sure how sustainable that is long term as it gets saturated..

If your rents in San Diego are currently averaging around $2,200 per month, how many 9.1% increases (plus flat incomes) do you think guys and gals think you'll be able to get away with before you start having a major issue with having a sustainable tenant base? 

Thus, only in cities with significant and sustained population growth will prices rise faster than inflation.
