They have provided us with actual data quantifying how much a certain amenity adds to your short-term rental revenues.I tell all my STR investors/second-home buyers in Colorado to get a hot tub, for instance, but while I know you do better, it's been hard to put numbers to it.AirDNA's March report has tried to tell us how much more revenue a home with X amenity gets over a home without X amenity.

This may have no effect on you at all because the servicer (the company you mail checks to) may remain unchanged.

Examine the terms of financing. for keeping a rental property as opposed to selling, and take long-term investing objectives into account.

In other words, sufficient capital for the cash purchase of a property (plus rehab) and eventually refinancing the completed project to a long term loan.
