For example, this article mentions that such factors as demand, rental rate, and HPI are the main factors for RE investors.

More customers means more demand and opportunity for lower vacancy and higher rates.So even if XYZ short term rental company offers a great deal to hosts, they need guests or the platform is useless.

The length of time to find a tenant is based on your location and demand.  

Location is critical.Even if the supply is greater than the demand, the good ones are full and the others are not.Some of the keys to success;1- Location, location, location.

Retail real estate demand is still here (in Florida anyway and a lot of other agents I have spoken to across many major markets - except NYC). 

I think demand for those will rise - but on the other hand that market tends to be the hardest hit right now with vast parts of the economy that tends to employ these people have been shut off.I have a flip I am working hard to get complete and on the market quickly with hopes it can sell at current value. 

The money was fantastic but the stress level and demand was not and the city started getting wiser.

People forget that people still need to travel and when the demand comes back they’ll be caught with their LTR tenants while I gobble up their bookings.

You really need to drill down on the values and inventory levels so you know e=where the demand island what the right price is to pay. 

Once you have found your ideal base rate, the tool will increase your rates according to demand, and do last-minute discounts etc...The most valuable feature for me is the ability to dynamically adjust your minimum stays to close gaps or to get extra bookings when time is running out.
