If you are suffering from Analysis Paralysis, it's often not about the deals, but about your confidence.

I travel 24/7 but invest in Northern Michigan and the Fox Valley Area in Wisconsin but I’m mostly traveling outside of those areas.

A 5-day booking scheduled to check in tomorrow just cancelled, so I'm out 5 days of revenue with almost zero hope of rebooking.While I'm all for people being responsible about their travel plans, I'm not all for hosts getting hosed - if AirBNB wants to play travel insurer, they should do it with their money, not mine.This is one of many reasons I'm glad my STRs have fat margins, because if this goes on for long there's going to be belt-tightening happening!

- Do you typically have to travel further to get better deals?

International travel is at zero.  

A real private money lender would know the answer to this question and would not even do the loan unless they were confident in the borrower and the value of the asset they were lending on.
