You can't expect to get the same results investors were getting in 2018.You can play with the numbers a little, but be careful.

Now there are a lot of factors that can come into play but I'm not completely sure what you're asking here.

You can see this play out in real estate as well.

Your number two is a bit different than what to expect on a short-term rental play.

All you get is what you can export/import via CSV file:(We use Propertyware, have experience with Buildium, and have played with Appfolio and RentManager.Buildium is for smaller companies.The other three are tied, the differences being how much automation & customization you want to do.If you don't see yourself growing beyond 150 units, go with Buildium.If you're not very techy and plan to grow over 150 units, we'd recommend Appfolio.If you're techy and plan to grow over 150 units, we'd recommend Propertyware or RentManager.Of course, schedule some demos, take GREAT notes and them make your decision.FYI - there are MANY new options on the market, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Apartments.com, Hemlane, Rentec.

I have seen that play out as well.
