The other day I started the thread Why do people Buy Property in California?

I know BiggerPockets already has a number of great calculators, but is there anything niche that people are interested in?

One STR is a very small proof of concept.

I just don’t think it’s anything other than a very simplistic investment concept, it’s marketed as if it’s earth shattering with exotic names being given to mundane concepts, and overhyped and if the posters in this thread are any indication it’s being sold to people incredibly unsophisticated in personal finance.

I made a great connection with that property owner and proved the concept since he was unfamiliar and hadn't even heard of rental arbitrage.
