Curious how you think about future appreciation in STR dominant markets ... where homes are essentially being valued as income producing hospitality assets rather than homes ...i'm new to this - so please let me know if i'm thinking about this the right way - but it seems like in an STR dominant market appreciation would be driven by 3 things:1) increased demand from Airbnb consumers (essentially boosts NOI through higher occupancy/ ADRs, and therefore boosts market value of homes if you hold cap rates constant)2) increased demand from Airbnb investors willing to pay more for the same earnings (i.e., lower cap rates)3) inflationAm I thinking about this the right way?
