For Airbnb, do i allow STR stays for the next three months and then block out the calendar beyond 3 months for MTR stays?  

Discipline. 

Last year we began testing different places by staying in Carrillo and Junquillal with day trips to a lot of other nearby beaches. 

However, I've learned a lot from that experience and am willing start over again- Make sure you stay on the top of them and fully account for the draws being taken as if they (Builder) have multiple projects I've seen where one individual's draw gets comingled with another property.

And while yes, no one has the same pricing (combination of factors), I also continue to check on a regular basis our rankings and how we "present" on total costs per stay vs. our competitors.My gut says there is price creep and we might have a ways to go before the market really corrects.

Attend seminars, join online forums, and read up on the latest market trends to stay informed.Remember, real estate investing is not without its challenges.

Stay true to the niche you’re currently focused on until you start to master it.

Personally, I airbnb half of my house, individual rooms, and stay nearly 100% booked.

Stayed the whole time in Manuel Antonio are except when we went out on adventures like fishing and ATVing.

Until then you are supposed to stay at the base rent levels that the units are registered at the time you purchase, and only increase by their guided annual inflation numbers.
