For anyone who is in the STR industry, what would you say is your biggest obstacle to success? 

Are you putting together any strategies to specifically address these trends? 

Specifically, I'm looking into property investment opportunities in Perth, Australia.

Hi everyoneI have an investment property in the Bay area (South San Francisco specifically) which I'm currently renting out to long-term tenants.

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

I am not saying you specifically, however, people tend to think that it is "just cleaning, " and therefore cleaners should get paid nothing, because anyone can do it.

Most of the projects that I am working on right now are a result of that group and I am actively searching for an acquisition target in a RE related industry. 

Otherwise creative conventional..Low down, large concessions, property or borrower specific programs. 

If you want to shower me w/advice on my specific scenario:2x Duplexes4% Mortgage Rates / Very small loansMixture of LTR/MTR/STRActive Income (not very passive)Net Income around $24,000 in totality (however my books are a mess and am currently working with someone to CLEAN THEM UP so I can get a clearer picture)Would you a) hold; b) sell and open a franchise or other business venture ?

More Stringent Lending Conditions: Some traditional commercial lenders, specifically local and regional banks, have been pulling back and tightening their lendingCONCLUSION: Asset prices are under pressure as required refinances over the next 18 months push owners to accept less favorable terms or give up equity to private real estate lendors3.
