I will try to post one of these every now and then for analysis purposes.

Hi Zach, do you have some time this evening to chat? 

This market is literally built for STR and yes, there are thousands of units and yes, it is very competative.

The older parts of the city will have this type of housing as the newer portions will have more traditional family-style living.

So admins please let me know if this post needs to be moved to a different category. 

This is particularly beneficial in popular tourist areas where demand for short-term lodging is high.Flexibility: Owners can choose when to rent their property, allowing them to use it personally during off-peak times.Support for Local Tourism: STRs provide a unique lodging option for tourists, helping to boost the local economy by attracting visitors who may prefer a home-like stay over traditional hotels.Diversification for Investors: STRs provide real estate investors with an additional income stream, especially if they own properties in tourist-heavy areas.Cons:Strict Regulations and Higher Fees: San Antonio recently updated its STR regulations.

We've heard this question a decent amount recently, and I'm assuming that it's Nationwide due to the stats below: 2024 is the most apartment units completed in a single year since 1987.We're definitely no longer in the days of throwing up 3 blurry photos, pushing rents, and having 5-10 applications within a 3 day period (COVID era). 

Looking forward to learning and sharing with the community.
