With todays higher interest rates and competition from other investors that drive up distressed housing prices we've hadn't had any luck getting new deals to pencil out.

In fact, now may be the best time of the year to buy properties due to reduced buyer competition and seller motivation (those selling now are probably committed.)

It's used to determine the cost of producing a product or service, and is a key tool for businesses to remain competitive and profitable.

Which means they'd rather wait until there is more competition in the market! 

Any founders & owners of fractional CFO, accounting, bookkeeping firm? 

I’m starting with just 1 listing but plan to recruit neighbors in my beach market to list on my custom website tailored to our community / market so I hope to be at 10+ listings soon even though I only own & operate 1 right now.Guesty’s pricing did not appear to be competitive and for someone starting with fewer than 4 units but planning to scale up behind that, Guesty does not offer a migration path from their “for hosts” product to their “for pros” version - it would have been a complete redo on setting everything up.

I can't re-iterate enough how much better data I have actually spending time analyzing my market and understanding my competition. 

A recent study from Rentcafe found that Milwaukee is the third most competitive market for renters in the US, ahead of NY.

@Andrew Freed is a good person to get in touch with about that as he is a MA multifamily investor who does a lot of meetups.STR is a tough way to start right now because in most markets the table stakes to be competitive are very high.
