If you’re strategic about locations, management, and financing, STRs can still offer decent returns in the right market.I totally agree that it’s not all sunshine and rainbows in real estate right now, but if you’re strategic—especially with tax savings and a long-term focus—real estate can still be a viable option alongside other investments.I agree with everything you said but it’s also important to consider the Time component.

The place I have is over 30 years old and a mansion ("mansion" in Japan means an apartment, not "mansion" like a huge house). 

On a more enterprise scale, I employ RevMax software as well as a fractional revenue manager who looks at the prices daily on a market level and a comp set level. 

Few bookings, lots of cancels, inaccurate information and a total fail synching with other software.  

The job consisted of replacing most of the front entrance, which consisted of 3 wood steps and a small platform deck the size of a standard refridgerator with railing. 

Great investment, a lot of learning, and a good ROI Lessons learned?

I've seen some as low as 6k and as much as 14k annually.

The investors that I work with find this much less risky and a much faster way to get to ROI. 

As someone who’s both a real estate investor and a property manager in RI, I know how important it is to stay ahead of the curve.
