I was looking at Vik Booking Hotel and it looks like a partial replacement for the SaaS PMS like Guesty or Hospitable.

Strongly disagree.Yes your leasing, screening, and deposit is similar but marketing and operations are much closer to a hotel or STR than LTR.Out of nearly 1,000 mid-term reservations this year across my portfolio, I have not gotten a single reservation from zillow, apartments.com, or craigslist.Mid term rental guests are not looking at those sites.

They make a network attached to your WiFi similar to a hotel where people log in via providing their email and then it collects that data for you to market to them after the stay.

You can just refinance your US property with a US bank at 3%.Aside from the security aspect, it makes no sense for a private equity lender to lend at 8% in Costa Rica since they can lend in the US at much more than 8%.Finally, private equity houses will only finance big multimillion dollar deals like large hotels, not the kind of deals that Shiloh is contemplating.

@John Underwood You know what I mean right John - it's a Condo on the beach, that is mainly STRs or in a Hotel Program - great building, but I am told they don't qualify for conventional financing due to them being not primary used for "Owner Occupied" 

You will end up paying for the tenant to stay at a hotel if water heater< ac or furnace goes out. 

If you have 70% occupancy which is kind of normal range for hotels and airlines who have spent billions on revenue management..that's $1740 gross a month...what are your cost?   

If a tree falls and they need to be in a hotel for a month, it's on them.
