@Anthony Zotto- if you started the application with the CU and locked the rate in - your rate wont  automatically  decrease  if  rates  improve . 

This has caused an 18% decrease in "asking" rental rates since March of this year.

We start asking for near top-of-market rent and notice when we decrease rent 5-10% after the first week or two of marketing that magically the tenants with longer rental histories, no evictions and stable (but not necessarily lucrative) jobs start showing interest in the listing. 

But that would decrease my cash flow significantly.

Thanks"Reaching out from Sinistar, we’re a home-sharing platform dedicated to connecting property owners like you with displaced policyholders in need of mid to long term temporary housing.

The next day I get a text, that a “family member” just happened to stop by and noticed “new temporary” visitors in the bottom apartment and there are new laws in the city starting June 1st for short term rentals.

I believe this duration is ideal for attracting professionals on temporary assignments, traveling nurses, and individuals relocating or renovating their homes.

You can probably get a temporary demo account from Yardi.Have a plan to enter fake properties, leases, work orders, etc.

Credit crunch hit it hard, which wasn't felt immediately but resulted in decreased gross sales by 2010, which prompted me to stop it. 

In a recession the STR market will be the first to get hit and your proposal doesn't have an exit strategy as the value of the property along with daily rates would decrease substantially.
