I simply just don't trust the news these days and have to look at my own markets and stats.I think the part everyone is conscious of is we saw a post-covid peak that in theory will not return, and we made a gradual return to 2019 levels.What I do think is true, per AirDNA, is that ocean and mountain markets saw the biggest increase, and now the biggest fall.... and now what's happening is many people, particularly older families who tried Airbnb for the first time, are realizing they never want to stay in a hotel again. 

Some states froze rates during covid.

I'm particularly interested in occupancy rates, pricing, and general ROI of course.

@Taylor Cook, first off you CAN'T be an agent for the seller and also be the buyer!

You could be making real money by investing wisely.Also, I wouldn't be sure that Cali will always appreciate at the rate that it typically has.

Prices have come down dramatically and I think it would be a good time to get in before rates come down, we get past the election and everyone else jumps back in!

By that logic, you should never use leverage in the first place.
